The idea of willingly jumping out of a plane isn't something our residents feel fully thrilled about across the board. While this may be someone's idea of a good time, we're curling up in a ball out of fear!

It's not just New York's great heights you have to be frightened of! Hiding away just below the surface are some of the most terrifying places you'll ever find in New York! Squeezing between narrow passages and ultra tight spaces in these caves is definitely no walk in the park.
A favored spot for rock climbing in our state, the Shawangunk Ridge is an area we highly recommend you visiting...but maybe not like this! Luckily there are other ways to get to the top and much more, less terrifying exploring to be done in The Gunks! Consider a climb with High Xposure Adventures if you're feeling brave.
Our stomach's can't handle this one! Captured at Hunter Mountain, here you can experience some of North America's largest, fastest and highest zipline tours.
