Boundary Trail (Green) is a short, easy loop on Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy land in New York, managed by a non-governmental organization. The trail is about 0.6 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 125 feet and a total loss of 206 feet, making it a low-effort outing. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.08 miles in, where the grade reaches 14%. The trail starts at roughly 888 feet and reaches a high point of 984 feet before descending back to a low of 830 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Alcove Dam weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 59°F, and the station sits about 377 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Several other trails start close by. Loop Trail (Yellow) and Helderberg Overlook Trail (Blue) are each about 0.2 miles away, and Doctor Holt Trail (Red) is about 0.3 miles away. Climbers can find Sunset Wall about 9 miles off.
