Fox Hill
About
Fox Hill is a summit in New York, about 4.2 miles from the town of Copake. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Copake show September highs around 73°F with lows near 51°F. That station sits nearly 800 feet below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several outings lie close by. The Charcoal Loop Trail is just 0.6 mile away, and the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, a gravel biking route, is under a mile off. Mt. Frissell, 2 miles away, is another nearby hike. For an overnight, Sage's Ravine Campground is about 4.3 miles across the line in Massachusetts.
