I wanted a more light hike at Storm King. I parked on the Mountain Road Trailhead of the Stillman Trail. This trailhead only has limited parking but it was a cold and cloudy winter day so the parking was available. I took the Stillman Trail to the view overlooking the Hudson River, and then took the old road up to the ruins.
I then took a trail that I noticed in the area of the ruins that descends. I took this trail down and it must be an older version of the Stillman Trail. It took me back to the trailhead where I was parked allowing for a full loop.
