Absolutely stunning. My family went right after New Year after I saw a few friends had hiked it. Learn from our mistakes! We did not park in the right spot and our walk was much longer than we had anticipated. We tried to follow the orange and blue markers and successfully found the top, but going down we missed some markers and ended up getting a bit lost. The markers in areas are quite faded and it was very confusing. It got a bit steep and rocky at times, which was fun to navigate but def. wear good shoes, bring water and some snacks and do your research first. We will try it again, but this time we will use a trail app and plan it much better first!

Definitely learn from my mistakes….. we went after a few very story days and the bugs were out - bug spay would have been good and sun tan lotion. A hat, water, and good comfortable shoes - ready to launch. Split the map in half and bring a snack or lunch for the middle.
Fantastic views with interesting sculptures. We enjoyed also the QR code listening as we arrived at the sculptures. Enjoy!

We basically drove thru this park. We loved the curvy mountain drive. Stopped at one pull over for fantastic views. Did the drive twice. Beautiful rock ledges, formations and forest.

My wife and I have spent many days on the trails in Storm King State Park this Fall 2020. Our first adventure took us around to the eastern side of the Park because of the crowds filling the other parking areas. We hiked from the eastern side up to the views over Cold Spring on the Crow's Nest and then on to the ridge directly across from Storm King. Then we hiked from the Storm King school side up to Butter Hill and back one day--also with fantastic views. Finally we made the hike from Cornwall up the northern slope to the summit of Storm King for glorious views of the Hudson River and the Hudson Highlands. Treat yourself to these trails and you will love the days spent there.

Spectacular views of Hudson River valley and Catskills beyond There are several trailheads for Storm King Mountain; you can start at elevation from route 9W or do the complete climb from Mountain Road or Route 218 You can easily hike for a half day or a full day. Then enjoy nearby pleasures such as kayaking on the Hudson River, visiting Storm King Sculpture Park, West Point, and the eateries and B&Bs in Cornwall-on-Hudson and Newburgh

This park is not really well known: there is no information booth or large parking areas but the highlight of this park(my opinion) is the summit of Storm King mountain. The trails are well marked and there are three main parking lots, the biggest on 9W and the smallest on Mountain rd. It is helpful to have a map or app to help navigate the trails.

This was my second visit to Storm King. First time was on a July day with record heat. Thrilled to return on a beautiful autumn day. It was Columbus Day weekend, so we expected crowds. We arrived shortly after it opened, so didn't have a long wait in line. The park is so enormous, that even though it was very busy for the staff, it never felt crowded. Grabbed a hot dog from the food truck on the way out - very inventive toppings and great service.
The enormous scale of the sculpture collection is most impressive. Great place for art lovers and those who want to spend time outdoors.

We really enjoyed this hike. Most of it is up and over large rocks and it felt as if we
spent more time going uphill than down! I would describe it as moderate but it might be considered difficult by the novice hiker.
There are three great main viewpoints over the Hudson and surrounding towns on the route and all are different.

My phone clocked the mileage as 4 and it took us 1 hour 45 mins with short stops to admire the views and take photos. There is limited parking at the start of the trailhead.
