Jersey City Connects | Spring Hike (April)| Bull Hill

Bull Hill in New York's Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve is a challenging 5.5-mile loop featuring steady climbs, rocky terrain, and spectacular views of the Hudson River. With approximately 1,400 feet of elevation gain, this trail offers a workout.

On the way down, you'll also pass through the atmospheric ruins of the historic Cornish Estate.
