A few of Don’s favorite Harriman State Park hikes include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bald & Dunderberg Mountains (see Bear Mountain Bridge + Great river views)<\/li>\n
  2. Pyngyp Mountain – Rock Scrambles<\/li>\n
  3. Pine Swap Mine – 2 miles<\/li>\n
  4. Timp-Torne Trail – West Mountain Shelter (Hudson River View)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don also recommends using Metro-North to access trails. Specifically you can use the\u00a0Port Jervis Line\u00a0<\/b>to get to\u00a0Tuxedo,\u00a0<\/span>Sloatsburg and\u00a0<\/span>Suffern. Or the\u00a0<\/span>Hudson Line\u00a0<\/strong>to find hiking near\u00a0Breakneck Ridge,\u00a0<\/span>Cold Spring,\u00a0<\/span>Garrison and\u00a0<\/span>Ossining.
