Bull Hill, Mountain summit in Putnam County, US
Bull Hill is a mountain summit in the Hudson Highlands reaching 1,420 feet in elevation and displaying exposed rock formations throughout its forested terrain. The peak offers multiple trail options suitable for different skill levels.
The mountain received its name from a bull that fell to its death while being chased down the steep slopes during a hunt. This incident became part of the local history and identity of the area.
The Hudson Highlands State Park mountain serves as a meeting point for local hiking groups who regularly organize guided expeditions.
Marked trails guide visitors from the base to the summit across varying difficulty levels. Sturdy footwear and water are important since the elevation gain requires sustained physical effort.
From the summit, visitors can see across the Hudson River valley to West Point Military Academy and Storm King Mountain on the horizon. Natural rock outcrops at the peak frame these distant views in an unobstructed way.
