Mt. Beacon is a mountain Beacon located in United States.
604 Wolcott Ave Beacon , NY 12508 United States
Very challenging due to the rocks, some of them are huge boulders. Once being up there all the hard work will pay off! The view is just mind blowing.
Hike up Mount Beacon and you'll discover the ruins of a once great dance hall and casino , as well as an old fire tower you can climb.
Extremely steep but rewarding hike . Make sure you continue past the casino ruins to check out the fire tower . Totally worth it!
Great hiking trails with scenic views . Some people do need to learn to bring their trash back down with them instead of littering.
If you’re coming from the metro north, walk (or Uber) ~1.5 mi from beacon station to the trail head at Mount Beacon Park
It's about a 30 minute walk from the Beacon train station . There's a deli near the trail head to stock up on good hiking supplies like chicken parm subs .
If you have the stamina and time, keep going to the fire tower . From the top of the rickety tower (not for the faint of heart), you can see Manhattan on a clear day.
Steep switchbacks. Challenging but fun intermediate 1 mi. hike with beautiful views at the summit.
Walk to the top for a stunning view especially at sunset .
The hike is incredible! Wear comfortable hiking boots !
Once the world's steepest incline railway, Mount Beacon has some pretty amazing views of the Hudson Valley.
Excellent view after a nice hike
The views are breathtaking!
Hiking . Sweating.
Fire tower !

Great views but can be scary to climb because of the short stairs and narrow staircases - Kelsey L
