Mount Egbert is a great hiker for amateur backpackers looking to get some experience before taking on some of the more challenging peaks in the area. Located along the Appalachian Trail, Mount Egbert summits at 1,329 feet, and is located in Dutchess County, New York.
The mountain contains some beautiful woodland, with a crisscross network of vehicle-accessible roads that make options for day hikes of various lengths and difficulties practically endless.
The summit is accessible via the Appalachian Trail, approaching from either the north or the south, and contains a scenic overlook area near to the summit. The Morgan Stewart Shelter, near the summit of Mount Egbert, is available for camping.
