Continue on the Escarpment Trail to Inspiration Point view.
Continue on the Escarpment Trail to Sunset Rock view.
Retrace steps back to parking area.
Notes:
Nice easier Catskill hike. The Harding Road Trail is a steady climb uphill, but the grade is never too difficult. It felt easier than recent hikes I think because there was no ice on the trail - no microspikes needed today. There are a number of views across Route 23A, which are probably better in the winter than in the summer. The terrain on this hike is mostly easy. No clouds today - sometimes there are great hiking in the clouds views in this area.
