About Lambs Hill
Lambs Hill is a summit in New York about 2 miles from the town of Beacon. It sits right beside a cluster of hiking routes, so it is easy to fold into a longer day on foot in the hills outside town. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Stormville run around 74°F for a September high with lows near 55°F, and May is similar with highs in the low 70s. Midsummer highs climb into the low 80s, and winter highs stay in the 30s. The Fishkill Ridge Trail starts just 0.2 miles away, and the Overlook Trail and White Trail are both about 0.6 miles off. Climbers can find rock at Storm King Mountain, roughly 5.6 miles away.
