Near the top of the ridge, signs point north on CR 104 (Cragsmoor Road) to the hamlet of Cragsmoor, as NY 52 reaches the apex of the ridge, at in elevation having regained almost all the altitude lost on the way to Ellenville. As it begins to descend through dense woods of scrub oak, NY 52 enters the town of Shawangunk, very near the Sullivan County line. Shortly afterward, a clearing at a house below one bend in the steep road offers a panoramic view east, towards the Hudson River with the Hudson Highlands also visible. The route winds southeast and levels out at the hamlet of Walker Valley, having descended from the heights of the ridge.
