I have done this hike. It was extraordinary, and definitely not for the faint-of-heart. This is the only hike that truly made me cry, no joke.

Hudson Valley: Shawangunk Ridge (path to Skytop and Ice Caves, specifically) Beacon/Fishkill: Really nice trail surrounding the Melzingah dam, just south of Mt. Beacon

My favorite loop is the plane crash, rocking chair, dozer loop starting and ending at the Fishkill Ridge trailhead in Beacon Hills.
