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 Serean on 3/19/2012 Just right! As the description says, muddy in some parts with great views as you get closer to the top. The usual trial has been rerouted pending some conservation, which makes a big chunk of the trail not so smooth. Wear sturdy boots that you don't mind getting dirty and you are ready to go!

Reviewed by Paul on 11/27/2011 Took the kids and the Dog on this nice short hike on November 20th. Had a wonderful time, The payoff is outstanding for such a short walk, spectacular views of the farms and houses in the valley below the cliff face and surrounding mountains. Especially rewarding if walked toward sunset, where the sun will fall between mountain ranges in the west.
Reviewed by Judi on 9/11/2011 Need to be in shape to hike this trial but it is worth it in the end. The last time that I hiked the trial with a friend, we watch crows flying at eye level.
Reviewed by Rich on 8/26/2011 The driving directions have an error, should be "Go right onto Rt 30 South" (not Rt 30 west, there is no Rt 30 west).
Reviewed by Caroline on 4/20/2011 Beautiful!!!!!! Went middle of November 2010. Very steep cliffs with no barriers, so watch the kids and pets!! worth the climb on the one side, other side the grade of the incline was a bit easier. Will def go back!
Reviewed by MK on 11/28/2010 Great payoff for the short steep climb. Climbed it with my 7 yr old son, 2.5 yr old daughter(in backpack) and Hubby. As with all hiking just have to be a little weary with the little ones as you approach the top, big dropoffs with nothing guarding the ledges. Keep an eye on kids and make them stay close by. Today we ran into a bit of mud and some dog doo (daughter stepped right into it)...Also, on the way down on the green trail-there seems to be a split in the trail. One heads down the hill steeply while the other meanders a bit off to the side. Our son was ahead of us and somehow took the meandering route and got separated for a littel bit-but they meet together eventually-I think...We enjoyed the hike and got some exercise!
