At the parking area, you'll see a triple-yellow blaze that marks the start of the Wilkinson Memorial Trail, which you will follow for the first half of the hike. The trail begins to climb on a winding woods road, passing a stone foundation to the right. In 0.2 mile, the green-blazed Nimham Trail begins on the right, but you should continue to follow the yellow-blazed Wilkinson Memorial Trail. ...

Not the best I've done
Easily accessible with Metro North. The first half of the trail is a pretty steep climb, the second part is less strenuous but crowded. There are several nice views over the Hudson river, but you can always see some houses and buildings.

Trailhead coordinates are wrong
It appears the coordinates for the trailhead do not match up with where the trailhead actually is.
