Description:
Harriman State Park is the second largest park system in NY. There are miles and miles of scenic trails, multiple rock scrambles and views of Manhatten from certain areas.
I put together a custom route comprised of several scenic trails, rock scrambles and hill climbs. This is a new to me route which means I will need to consult with my GPS throughout. Simply ask that you pack a little patience. Harriman is known for it's many twists and turns, so a little extra mileage is possible if we miss a turn...lol

This hike is NOT a beginner hike and will require you have a moderate + level of hiking experience to enjoy and complete this trek. It is very helpful to have some form of trail mapping system on you in case you need to turn around, etc. Cell phone service is limited if existent at all in these parts. I will post the route in the comments as event gets closer. Download ahead of time....:)
