White Trail is an easy hike on Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy land in New York, about 3.3 miles long with a one-way climb of 356 feet. It starts near 1,515 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,595 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 2.7 miles in, where the grade reaches 17%. The land is managed by a non-governmental organization. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Alcove Dam weather station, about 9.3 miles away, show July highs near 79°F and lows around 59°F, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Winters there are cold, with January highs near 32°F. Orange Trail lies about 0.4 miles away and Blue Trail about 0.6 miles away, with Green Trail roughly 2.4 miles off. Climbers can head to Sunset Wall, about 4.8 miles away.
