Summary: Vroman's Nose is a short, steep climb to a fresh perspective. Perched six hundred feet above the rich farmland of Shoharie Creek Valley, the cliff-tops of the Nose are the place to go when you want to get away from it all. Linger with the soaring turkey vultures, camp, picnic, or just relax above the peaceful valley before descending through pine forest, ending on a grassy slope above the parking lot. The trail is easily followed, though it can be muddy in places during all seasons except summer. Other nearby attractions include the Old Stone Fort historial museum, Iroquois Museum and Howes Caverns. Trailhead: Take exit 22 off I-88 and follow Rte 145 into Middleburgh. Go right onto Rt 30 west. In 0.6 miles go right onto Mill Valley Road, pass through the small village of West Middleburgh and in 0.6 miles cross Line Creek. A few hundred feet beyond the bridge is a small sign and parking area on your left.

Reviewed by Corey on 5/30/2009 A pleasant climb, slippery on the way down. Wonderful views. great picnicking spots. 
Reviewed by Lauren on 5/19/2009 Ive done Vroman three times. Today I lost the trail for the way back down. Good hike with steep sections but apparently the path is not always clear. I give two stars only for todays hike but I would hike it again, it just wasnt pleasent today
Reviewed by Greg on 4/15/2009 Great easy hike with some moderately steep areas...no problem. Awesome views on top and nice wooded areas on the way up. Great place to enjoy that day. Only one bummer, loose dogs. We were enjoying our lunch when a dog came to us...the owners were far behind it. Maybe there should be a strong message to dog owners about this. Not looking for a dog-wars fight here, just mutual respect. Not everyone loves your dog. Anyway this is an amazing place and top find! Try it.
Reviewed by Chris on 3/29/2009 It was a very nice hike. I did it with my dog in about 35 minutes. Even on a rainy day I'm glad I had my camera. FYI... if you're following the directions on here, it's Rt 30 South, not West (it may have changed since that was posted). Otherwise a delightful hike.
