Distance: 2.8 miles
Time: 1 hour 42 minutes
Map: Harriman - Bear Mountain Trails (north map)
Parking: In small dirt lot off of Route 106.
Restrooms: None
Post hike dinner: Whole Foods, White Plains, NY
Directions: Green Pond/Boston Mine Shorter Loop
Notes:
No street crossings, but the beginning/end of the hike parallel Route 106 for about 5 minutes. This is a short, easy hike - good when you don't have a lot of time. Some rock scrambling around the pond, but the rest of the hike is flat, often with wide trails. This hike goes around Green Pond, which is pretty especially in the fall, but not a dog swimming area (too many reeds around the edge).
Year to date miles: 384.2
