A great hike and got some yoga in. We started on the southern most point (map here), went up on WB Washburn (white trail) then came down mostly on CN Cornish (blue; mostly is carriage road). Bathrooms are portables. Parking lot is small. A satisfying dinner at Spy C conclude the 5.5 miles day.
Girls are generally patient photographers

The Northgate Project is to preserve the ruins of the Stern-Cornish estate for future generations of enjoy. (More info here) The 650-acre land in the Breakneck Valley was owned by Sigmund and Dove Stern since 1904, their home was built by Werner and Windolph in 1912. After the death of Dove in 1915, Sigmund leased it to Edward and Selina Cornish in 1916 who ultimately purchased the estate the following year. The fire in 1958 had ruined it, and eventually it became NYS’s Hudson Highlands State Park, since 1967.
