About Storm King Mountain
Storm King Mountain is a summit in New York, about 1.1 miles from the village of Cornwall-on-Hudson. Several hiking trails meet close to the mountain, so it is easy to build an outing around the summit from different directions. September is typically the most comfortable time to go, with average highs around 76°F and lows near 57°F. Those are typical averages from the West Point weather station, which sits about 1,030 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top tend to run cooler. The closest trail is the Bypass Trail, just 0.1 mile away, and the Bluebird Trail and Howell Trail both lie about 0.4 mile out. The Stillman Trail is about 0.5 mile away. For time on the water, Moodna Creek offers canoeing about 5.9 miles from the summit.
