Kakiat and Harriman Park

While everyone is riding around the boroughs, let's hike! 🥾⛰️

This hike will have a few inclines, but perfect for anyone who can challenge themselves.

We will start off on the Kakiat Trail and then bear LEFT onto the Mountain Trail, continuing till we return back to the Kakiat Trail where we will turn Left. We will continue on Kakiat to Racoon Brook Hill where we will turn RIGHT, We will stay on Racoon Brook Hill keeping left at all time till we connect again with the Kakiat Trail where we will turn Right and keep on it till we get to the Pine Meadow Trail which connects to the Diamond Mountain Trail, where we will bear RIGHT till we connect to Pine Meadow Road West bearing Right. We will stay on Pine Meadow Road West trail till we come to Pine Meadow Lake (Great spot for lunch). From the Lake we will bear LEFT onto Pine Meadow Trail and keep on it while walking around the lake which will bring us to Conklins Crossing Trail where we will bear RIGHT. We will continue on Conklins Crossing where we will take a sharp LEFT to continue on it. We will continue till we get to the intersection where we will bear RIGHT onto Suffern Bear Mountain Trail and stay on this till we get back to the Kakiat trail where we will bear RIGHT heading back to the Parking Lot. (lots of twist and turns, but that`s part of the adventure :-) )
