Brian Nearing is reporting in the Times Union Vroman's Nose, the Schoharie County mountain and three-quarter-mile long hiking trail, is being donated to the state. At an elevation of about 1,200 feet, Vroman's Nose dominates the view in the Schoharie Valley off Route 30 near Middleburgh. The property has been protected by the not-for-profit Vroman's Nose Preservation Corp. for 34 years. The mountain has a prominent place in the history of the region, figuring in stories about Revolutionary War patriots fighting against the British. The top of the mountain features a large flat area commonly known as the "dance floor." The summit trail also connects with the Long Path, a 350-mile trail between New York City and Albany County.
