“This is the stop for passengers hiking in this area, notably Breakneck Ridge. This is a LIMITED stop. Trains unload passengers here only on weekends and holidays. Keep that in mind if you plan on riding the train to this stop. As the current schedule indicates, northbound trains stop here only a few times during the morning and once in the afternoon. Make sure you check the schedule to see if you're on the right train. Only one door opens and that is towards the rear of the train. LOTS of hikers get off on this stop, so prepare to unboard as the train makes the stop. If you're also riding the train back, the stop is further north, near the bridge above the tracks. To get to it, walk north on Route 9D until you see a path to the bridge you need to cross. Not a long walk. Walk on the bridge to get to the other side of the tracks and do not walk on the railroad. It is trespassing and very dangerous. Trains run here at 80 mph. As the SCHEDULED train approaches to stop at the station, be prepared to board and get to the yellow platform. Do not miss the train or you will have to wait for the next one which is a long wait and like northbound trains, southbound trains make very limited stops here. Other trains quickly rush through here, so stay away from the tracks. Be aware that southbound trains blast the horn continuously and very, very loudly as they pass the area. You might want to cover and protect your ears. I have to emphasize again, make sure you check the schedule so you can plan accordingly as the schedule is subject to change. There is planned construction on the trails of Breakneck Ridge but keeps getting delayed. When it begins, trains service to this area will stop until construction is complete. Call the MTA and ask for updates on service.”

“I stayed here for several days, and no one figured out that I am the one true Big Foot. Would have liked wifi, but the setup is pretty primitive so you get what you get. For free -- 5 stars!”
Address: Breakneck Ridge Trail, Cold Spring, NY 10516, USA
“Breakneck Ridge is the best hiking trail in US if not the world. Medium difficulty but very rewarding with views at rest plateaus. Commanding views just get better the higher you go. Scouts and cadets love it. See mountains in distance with Hudson River in foreground. View of Breakneck on right from West Point.”
