Gribley Trail is a 3.05-mile hike in New York, about 0.4 miles from the town of Delhi. It is a point-to-point route with a total elevation gain of 975 feet, rising from a starting point of about 1,479 feet to a high of 2,077 feet. The trail is rated easy, and the steepest stretch comes early, around 0.47 miles in, with a grade of about 34 percent. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Delhi show July highs around 80°F and September highs near 72°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits about 600 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The trail is dog-friendly, and the Frightful Falls Trail lies just 0.4 miles away. Smith Pond Trail and Bulldog Trail are each about a mile off, and Bramley Summit Trail is roughly 4.4 miles away.
