Long Path to Long Mountain Summit, Harriman State Park

March 29, 2013

Distance: 2.2 miles
Time: 1 hour 22 minutes
Map: Harriman - Bear Mountain Trails - Northern Trail Map 119
Parking: Off of Route 6, west of Long Mountain Circle. Plenty of room for lots of cars. Some people park there and just hang out in their cars (non-hikers).
Restrooms: none
Post hike dinner: Jewel of Himalaya

Directions: Long Mountain Loop, Harriman

Notes: This was a fabulous hike. It provides great views at the summit for minimal effort. There  are no road crossings. It also has a stream after you descend Long Mountain. We only saw 3 other hikers out on the trail today (though many cars parked in the parking area).

Year to date miles: 22.6

Memorial to the founder of the NYNJTC. We certainly appreciate all the NYNJTC does!

Stream right before past the turn onto woods road. The woods road follows the stream for a while.
