Description

As suggested by Ben Nephew in the proboards thread from Breakneck Ridge, the established FKT routes on Breakneck Ridge, Storm King Mountain, and Schunemunk Ridge "make a great Hudson Valley trio."  All three routes are overloaded with massive climbs and stunning vistas of an aesthetic quality seldom seen so close to New York City. What's more, the trailheads of these three great routes lie within six miles of each other as the crow flies, making a linkup all the more tempting.
