PDF Maps of Town & Ridge Whether you're a newcomer to the Gunks or think you know this place like the back of your hand, these simple, printable (2 sided) PDF maps are a great resource. They feature rudimenary road maps, and our un-biased, un-sponsored reviews of local restaurants, gas stations, retail shops, food markets (including phone numbers). Areas to swim, bike, hike...oh yeah, and climb. You're sure to discover something. Map Front (New Paltz town) Map Back (Mohonk & Minnewaska) This is the first map in a series. Upcoming map/guides will cover Rosendale, Stone Ridge, the Spring Farm and Mohonk Mountain House areas of the ridge. We'll also be doing a Woodstock map over the winter. Your comments for the current and future maps are appreciated.
