About

Hill of Pines is a summit in New York, about 2.2 miles from the town of Cornwall-on-Hudson. The facts here cover its location, nearby trails and local climate rather than a set route to the top. Several short hiking trails sit within a mile or so of the summit, which makes it easy to fit into a broader outing in the area. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby West Point weather station run to highs around 72°F in May and 76°F in September. That station sits about 1,075 feet lower than the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up high. Honey Hill Trail and Black Rock Hollow Trail are the closest neighbors, each about half a mile away or less, with Tower Vue Trail at roughly 0.7 miles. Climbers can head to Storm King Mountain, about 2.1 miles off.
