dumb question?
Why do the beginning and ending elevations differ greatly? Not an out and back ride, I gather.
4K+ elevation is quite high. It might make for a chilly descent, especially after working up a sweat on the way up.

A valley traverse I am guessing. The roads zig zag quite a bit. If yo can call them roads. Some a cart could go down, doubt they would though...

Beautiful climb, right in my old 'hood, done it a bunch of times, first in '74. Think I can still drag my fat a$$ up it.

Nice.
My sis that just moved to Phoenix, last east coast hold out in our family...
She lived for years near the High Top area and did many many a hike in steep terrain. In NY state actually just over the border. You could see the High Top peak from her front yard.
She has a chrome frame early cool MTB I gave her decades ago. But lacked the motivation to ride that steep stuff. Bike weighs 40 lbs probably. ;)
But many a mile in the Mohonk area where she lived before that in New Paltz...
