Mineral Springs Falls and Sackett Ridge
Join us on an adventure through Black Rock Forest, a hidden treasure of the Hudson Valley. Black Rock Forest’s location at the intersection of two ecological systems results in rich biological diversity of plants and animals. Shortly after we begin our hike, we’ll come across the cascading waterfalls known as Mineral Springs Falls, then hike up to Jupiter’s Boulder to enjoy the unique rock formation. We’ll continue on to Sackett’s Ridge to take in the views before returning back to the City, refreshed after a day in the wild.
