If this hike was free, you’d probably have to sleep outside the guard shack to get a parking spot.
LEMON SQUEEZE HIKE FULL
Already, the parking lot is often full on weekends (be prepared to be turned away on a nice weekend day if you don’t get there early or pretty late in the afternoon). Much like how Cookie Monster says that cookies are a sometimes food, the entrance fee makes this one a sometimes hike.īut really, without the fee, this place would be an insane mob scene. From up there, you can pretty much see the whole world.įor all that you get to see and experience on this hike, the entrance fee really isn’t that steep. Then you can turn around and find the Sky Top Tower right behind you, begging to be climbed.
LEMON SQUEEZE HIKE FREE
Which is just as well, unless your dog can climb ladders.īackground you can feel free to skip: The hike across the Mohonk Mountain House grounds to the Labyrinth rock scramble and up through the Lemon Squeeze crevice is one of the most memorable outdoor experiences in the Hudson Valley, or anywhere else.Īs a reward for wedging yourself through rock formations and volunteering to be a human lemon in the Lemon Squeeze, you’ll pop out onto a ledge with awesome views of the Mohonk Preserve and beyond - here’s a six-photo panorama: I’d recommend just paying the money and doing the hike documented below, but if funds are tight and you’re feeling spry, you can see the Undercliff/Overcliff trail guide for instructions on doing that hike.)
(You can save a few bucks by doing a much longer hike (8-9 miles total) to the Labyrinth from the Mohonk Preserve. Totally worth it, but make sure to give yourself plenty of time to recuperate if you had to sell your plasma to afford this hike. Before wasting your time driving there, you can call Mohonk for a recorded message on hiking conditions at 84 (this number turns into their ski condition report in the winter).ĥ-alarm cheapskate alert! As of 2022, this hike costs $35 dollars PER HIKER ($30 for kids 4-12 years old), and you MUST purchase the pass online (you’ll find the link on Mohonk’s hiking page) prior to your visit. Weather warning: If you’re visiting in early spring or late fall, there’s a decent chance that the Labyrinth and Lemon Squeeze will be closed (it’s closed all winter).
