A small accessible parking area at the end of Monument Drive, in Schuylerville, allows visitors to start right in hiking the ½-mile Victory Woods trail.
Climbing to and from the top of the Monument takes approximately 25 minutes.
When open, a Ranger is on-site to answer any questions you might have.
