	GORP - Breakneck Ridge - Weekend Backpacker: New York
		Along the Hudson's eastern bank lies bulky Mt. Taurus, the all-but-vertical rock face of Breakneck Ridge, South Beacon Mountain (the tallest of the Highlands), and North Beacon Mountain, which looms large above the City of Beacon, clearly distinguishable by the communications towers near its summit.
		The lower reaches of Breakneck Ridge attract scores of hikers in every season except winter, and the sight of so many cars parked in the pulloff of Route 9D just north of the railroad and auto tunnel two miles north of Cold Spring can be off-putting to hikers who enjoy isolation on the trail.
		There is nothing like Breakneck in all the Highlands, and if your hiking appetite runs to the rugged, Breakneck is probably the testiest piece of terrain south of the Shawangunks, which attract not only hikers but rock climbers.

	Breakneck Ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Breakneck Ridge is a mountain along the Hudson River between Beacon and Cold Spring, New York, along the boundary between Dutchess and Putnam counties.
		Its distinctive rocky cliffs are visible for a long distance when approached from the south, and together with Storm King Mountain on the opposite bank of the river forms Wey-Gat, or Wind Gate, the picturesque northern gateway to the Hudson Highlands.
		According to legend, Breakneck gets its name from the same wild bull as neighboring Bull Hill (also known as Mount Taurus), as the place where the bull finally fell to its death.

		Felled trees had been thrown across this space, so that the enemy could advance neither rapidly nor in order, and the advance was to be made in the mouth of the artillery of the fort, while they had not a single gun to respond or to cover their movement.
		It consists of a mass of rock, and rises near the centre of the river, between Breakneck Hill on the east and Butter Hill on the west.
