 Just past it is a ledge with a wide view over the Hudson River and points east.It is another half-mile from here to the summit, across mostly level stretches of trail save another steep cliff at 3,500 feet (1,067 m) in elevation (where special DEC regulations banning fires and camping except during winter take effect).An overhanging tree formerly provided the only way to get up a narrow cleft in the rock here until July 2013 when it collapsed.
