Arden Point & Glenclyffe trail to Sugarloaf Hill Hike

Finally reposting this hike after canceling last month. I actually hiked this on Saturday and it was beautiful. Views were spectacular given there were no leaves on the trees to obstruct views.

Many of us have hiked the trails around the Garrison train station. Let's spend more time here and hike the Arden Point trail. There are some nice views along the Hudson from Arden Point. We will then continue on the Glenclyffe trail and make our way to Sugarloaf Hill. The summit is partially wooded but has a nice viewpoint looking down the Hudson River Valley towards the Bear Mountain Bridge (one of my favorite views). The steepest sections of the trail are within the last half mile approaching the top.

While Arden Point is considered easy, the Sugarloaf Hill section is considered moderately difficult. You can wait at the base for the group to return if you want to skip this part. The viewpoint is a great place to have lunch.

Let's meet at Grand Central at 8:30 and catch the 8:56 train to Garrison (arriving at 10:12). Meet at the info booth at the food court level, down the ramp from the Oyster Bar.

Bring plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes/boots. Also bring a packed lunch. We will have lunch at Sugarloaf Hill where the view is wonderful.

We will need to be mindful of weather conditions particularly snow and ice. I may need to reschedule if these conditions are prevalent.
