Hike Length: 7 miles
Hike Time: 5.5 hours
Peak Elevation: 1, 175 feet
Sunshine, rain showers, Hudson River views, wild blueberries, hours of conversation and walking with friends - these are all the things the Dunderberg Spiral Railway/Bald Mountain Loop hike offered our trio back in June 2017. It was the longest hike I had done in a few years and it was very rewarding! The fauna in Harriman State Park changed often and there were several opportunities to take in beautiful viewpoints, even a peep at the NYC skyline in the far distance.The trail starts right off the highway near Jones Point, New York. |
The hike starts on the Timp-Torne trail (the blue markings), the way back is on the Ramapo-Dunderberg (red-dot on white markings). |
We started off so sunny, and check out that luscious and vibrant green! |
That's me, Brian, Leslie, and their pup Miso. You may remember them from previous hikes. |
Super zoom of the New York City skyline in the background! |
Then it rained and while we hid under trees we saw a deer =) |
Gorgeous, right? |
And then the sun came out again!!! |
Seems like every 30 or so minutes the scenery changed. |
Leslie and I ate all the blueberries we could find. |
Atop Bald Mountain! Trees blocked the view from there, but the location was snazzy. |
