One of the most photographed sinkholes in the world, the Neversink Pit is home to the Neversink Falls, which are ribbony cascades of water that drip down the sides after spring rains and form sheets of ice in winter. An inspiration to climbers and photographers in equal measure, the pit is 40 feet wide at the top, with a cavity that drops a dramatic 162 feet and is only open to experienced climbers, who require a permit to rappel down to the bottom. A reasonably strenuous 30-minute hike from a small parking area hike will take you to the lip of the cavern for spectacular downward views, which are worth the effort.
