Shawangunks (The Gunks)

Most of the Gunks is part of the Mohonk Preserve. Climbers must purchase a $20 (as of 2018) day pass to climb at the Gunks or an annual pass ($95 as of 2018). Stop at the Visitor's Center, on Rt. 44/55 just below the cliffs, for more information or to get your pass. Passes are also often available on weekends from rangers at the steel bridge, the West Trapps lot, or at Lower Coxing, among others. If you get a day pass, keep your wristband, as the $20 cost can be credited toward the cost of an annual pass.
