Renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, the Shawangunk Mountains, or the Gunks, feature rugged terrain with striking escarpments and serene "sky lakes." Despite their modest height, these mountains have captivated visitors since the 19th century. The surrounding valleys, including the Rondout Creek and Wallkill River, host historic towns like New Paltz, known for its ancient stone houses, and charming hamlets such as Gardiner and Rosendale. This region blends rich history with a vibrant community, attracting both locals and second-homeowners from New York City.
