The Shawangunks, NY

My client recently snapped this pic while we were looking at homes in the area. He and his family enjoy the world-class rock climbing here in the Shawangunks --otherwise known as "the Gunks". For those of you who are not quite so brave-including myself, there is an extensive network of amazing trails and rock scrambles.

This picture is at the Overlook parking lot with the Trapps behind me. Here is a google map. Wikipedia has a nice entry about the ridge.

After a memorable day exploring the Gunks, I recommend checking out the Gilded Otter in New Paltz. All beers are brewed on the premises and the food is great.

See you on the trails!
