Bull Hill (Mt. Taurus) forms part of the Hudson Highlands State Park and is named after a bull which used to roam the hill and terrorize inhabitants. After the poor bull was driven off the mountain by a hunting party, the mountain was named Mount Taurus in his memory. Today Bull Hill offers a variety of hiking trails. The most popular trail is called the Bull Hill Full Loop and you can find the Washburn Trailhead near the Little Stony Point parking area north of Cold Spring. The full loop is around 5.5 miles and will give you a fair amount of exercise and lead you past a scenic waterfall.
