State Line Lookout | NYC’s Secret Cliffside Escape 🏞️🚗

Just 1 hour from NYC, this NJ/NY border gem delivers dramatic Hudson views, heart-pumping trails, and zero skyscrapers. Here’s your no-nonsense guide to hiking heaven: 🥾 Trail Breakdown 🔥 Shore Trail (+ Giant Stairs) • 1-mile boulder scramble = leg day on steroids. • Pro Tip: Grip-heavy shoes or kiss your knees goodbye. 🌲 Long Path • Forest stroll = fall foliage paradise (🍁 Instagram gold). 🌉 Lookout Point • Zero hiking needed—park, walk 10 steps, boom: GW Bridge views. Hot Take: That "I’m in Lord of the Rings" boulder field? Worth the sweat. 🐕 Dog Owner PSA ✅ Pup-friendly… except Giant Stairs (unless you bench-press your dog). 🚗 Logistics • Parking: Free at State Line Lot (arrive by 9 AM weekends!). • Post-Hike: Grab deli sandwiches at the cliffside café. Q: Team Adrenaline (Giant Stairs) or Team Chill (Long Path)? #NYCHikes #NJAdventures #HudsonValleyViews
