Sloatsburg Hike in Harriman

Details

Let's hike Harriman. We’ll hike approximately 9 miles up some wooded hills with open views at the top and along some streams. This is a nice part of the park and is less crowded than other hikes we do. We'll hike to Ramapo Torne and back to Sloatsburg. Newbies are welcome but YOU NEED TO BE AEROBICALLY FIT. The trails in Harriman are rocky and steep and it's a long day of hiking.

We're catching the 9:07 NJCL train #7629 toward Rahway. Get out at SECAUCUS then transfer downstairs to the 9:30 MNBNP #71 train toward Port Jervis. We'll get off in SLOATSBURG at 10:24am.
