I found a photo of the sign that was previously here on Agile Trekker: Spur Path sign (from Agile Trekker) A post, with the sign unfortunately missing, is at the junction. The trail now climbs consistently, crossing a small stream.Ĭontinue to follow the aqua Long Path blazes uphill.Īfter climbing for about a half mile, the trail levels off and reaches a junction with a white-blazed spur path, which leads to the historic Youmans – Van Orden House and High Tor Vineyards (we will not turn onto the spur path). To avoid this, you could follow the power line cut, and then make a left to rejoin the trail. If you follow the aqua blazes, you’ll first need to navigate a somewhat wet area. You could turn right here, but the official Long Path turns right just beyond here – about 0.2 miles from the parking area – marked by two aqua blazes on a tree.

Walk past Ridge Road (Rt 23), and a short distance beyond you’ll see a power line cut. The Long Path follows Rt 90 here and you may notice some aqua blazes on telephone poles.
