Mohonk Mountain House Gate House

Mohonk Mountain House is a historic Victorian castle resort perched on top of a mountain in the Hudson Valley, and it truly makes you feel surrounded by nature — both indoors and outdoors. 🌿 The property has been owned by the Smiley family since the 1860s, and you can really feel the history and character everywhere you go. The architecture is beautiful, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Every direction you look feels like a postcard. If you love nature, fresh air, scenic hiking, and classic old-world charm, this place is really special and worth the visit. Incredible views, stunning landscape, and such a calming, memorable experience. ✨ #MohonkMountainHouse #HistoricCastle #HudsonValley #NewPaltz #UpstateNewYork #NatureEscape

One of the better hikes in the mohonk area. If you decide to do it the pay off is great. Best for teens and adults in decent shape. No young children it can get pretty dangerous. You'll be going through the labyrinth and the lemon squeeze trail. But if you do have young ones or Seniors with you there is a alternative trail that takes you straight to skytop tower that is flat and manageable for them but it is still a bit of a walk going uphill. There is plenty of parking at the visitors parking lot but you still want to arrive early cause this place can get packed pretty quickly. There are two bathrooms along the trail and a port a potty. So make sure you use the bathrooms when you can cause they are far apart. If you decide to take the labyrinth trail I recommend wearing a long sleeve shi

3.5 miles to the resort, $35.00 per person just to drive up to look at the view, no charge if you make meal reservation, extremely expensive, didn't see much of anything, disappointed... won't go again!

Mohonk Mountain House Gate House is a nice play to start your hike at. You need to buy your hiking pass online and when you arrive at the gate just show them your pass. It can be printed or on your phone. Passes are available on their website. The trails on the estate are really well kept and well marked. Their is cell service everywhere on the estate. Most people go to Sky Top Tower, but the gardens and areas around the lake are very good. When buying the hiking pass online, they have passes for 10am and 11am. Not sure why it says this, because you can actually enter the parking lot at 7am. The hotel needs to change this sign up their website, because it just leads to confusion. The trail map the hotel gives you is also a little confusing, they need to clear that up and design one for hik
