Mohonk Mountain House Hike - Rock Scramble to the Tower

Uploaded:   11/15/2008

We took a trip upstate to see the fall foliage in the Hudson River Valley. There are two ways to get to the tower by the Mohonk Mountain House - you can walk along a paved path, OR you can try the "rock scramble", which involves making your way across piles of rocks, climbing up steep ladders, and squeezing through narrow spaces, including the infamous "lemon squeeze". The rock scramble is a fun way to reach the beautiful views.

Note: In this video, I say that the rock scramble is "really hard"...but it's not actually that hard.
