Anthony's Nose to Castle Rock Free hike

Only rain can stop us!

It's time for a new hike verticals! This time we do Anthony's Nose and Castle Rock trails.

We will pass through lakes, rivers, creeks and old castle. We will have a lunch by the South mountain pass and come back to NY from Garrison.

If we will have enough time we will visit an entrance of an old mine.

This is not a loop walk!
