Nice trail. Several beautiful overlooks of the Hudson. Only downside is that you can hear the cars for a while.
Steep climb, awesome views, saw my first bear in the wild :)
Well maintained but pretty tough trail
Great hiking that few know about. Several trails. Some are pretty challenging.
This was a tough hike from the get go. The first few minutes are flat and breezy, then there's about an hour's worth of vertical climbing. Hiking shoes recommended. On a beautiful Saturday, I encountered a number of other hikers and dogs. Gorgeous views of the Hudson and, some hikers told me, of Bear Mountain Bridge from the summit. They had been hiking from 10:30-4 and said the trail levels out after a steep climb.
From what I can tell, there are two trails ending/starting at this trail head (plenty of parking here, across the road at Jones Point, and down the road). A blue trail and a white/red dot trail. Both are moderate to hard and not so clearly marked in the beginning.
A very enjoyable, challenging hike with massive rocks and boulders poking out from the mountain!
Easy access from rt 202!
