Mohonk Skiers

Welcome to the scenic and historic foot trails of New York State’s Ulster, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam Counties. If you like to walk, run, hike, or ski, there’s a trail beckoning you.

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage of discovery, the Grand Walkabout Committee compiled a comprehensive Trail Directory, listing foot trails throughout these four counties. Some trails are rugged and long, with tough climbs affording spectacular views. Some are
gentle and meandering, passing working farms or the tantalizing ruins of old stone buildings. Some are urban trails that lead walkers to cultural and historic sites.
