Storm King Mountain 📍

Storm King Mountain is along the west bank of the Hudson River south of Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York.

Together with Breakneck Ridge on the opposite bank of the river it forms “Wey-Gat” or Wind Gate, the picturesque northern gateway to the Hudson Highlands. Its distinctive curved ridge is the most prominent aspect of the view south down Newburgh Bay, from Newburgh, Beacon, and the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.

Storm King State Park offers unsurpassed views of the Catskills and the Hudson Valley. Hikers and hunters enjoy this undisturbed green space. Park is undeveloped. There are no toilets and limited parking.

Storm King Bypass

The construction of this bypass in 1938 created a great deal of controversy by people who thought it would detract from the scenic beauty of Storm King and the original Storm King highway.

On the Edge of Storm King

The storm king highway has many sweeping curves and cuts into the mountain. It wouldn't comply with modern highway standards but is pretty remarkable to look at.
