Nose Series: Vroman’s Nose and Dr. Best House and Medical Museum
Adventurers, for the first time ever, we are doing a three-hike Nose Series. Three famous ‘nose’ trails in New York: Anthony’s Nose, Vroman’s Nose, and Gertrude’s Nose (coming this spring). Do them all and get the Adventure Untamed Nose Challenge Patch!
“Vroman’s Nose is a prominent landmark overlooking the beautiful and fertile Schoharie Valley. The view is spectacular from the flat “dance floor” feature found on the top of this distinctive mountain. The hike is easy, very rewarding and [a] great place for picture taking in every season!” (Photo and quote courtesy of Visit Schoharie County). After the hike, we will explore some local history with a tour of Dr. Best’s Italianate Victorian style home and medical office and get a glimpse of 19th-century history in upstate New York. Join us for this unique adventure!
