Wanted to complete the route myself before submitting as an fkt. An all encompassing route that hits all the main parts of the Hudson Highlands, crammed into 16ish miles and very heavy. My attempt I had a couple missed turned due to following a map I had made when trying to plan this out but all the trails on the actual fkt route are in great condition and looking forward to seeing this time get lowered. At the start at Fishkill ridge trailhead start by the trailhead sign and at the finish at Washburn trailhead must end touching the gate. Locals might notice the route doesn't go down to the road at breakneck and go up the whole face and that is due to upcoming construction on that area so I wanted to keep the route fully accessible so decided to make it turn up the stairs to get to breakneck.
I did do it supported with my best friend Angela meeting me a few times to refill my hand bottle since I didn't feel like carrying a vest and she also ran down the last 1.5 miles with me.
