Harriman Hike!
Details
This will be a 5-mile beginner-friendly loop hike in Harriman State Park starting and ending at the Tuxedo Park train station! We may see some interesting edible things along the trail which I will point out.
Itinerary
Meet at Penn Station New Jersey Transit ticket counter at 8:45 am, take an NJ transit train leaving about 9:10 (with one transfer) to Tuxedo, arriving around 10:30 am. There is a deli across from the train station if needed. After a five-minute walk from the station to the trailhead, we will do a 4.7-mile loop hike with stops at really cool spots like Claudius Smith’s Den and the Tri-Trail Corner. A leisurely lunch will be taken halfway through the hike.
We will try to make the 4:20 pm train back to the city, but if we miss it there’s also a 6:45 pm.
Things to bring
- 2 liters minimum of water (I will have a filter for refills if needed)
- Lunch/snacks
- Sturdy boots or trail runners as Harriman trails are rocky
- Extra pair of socks
- Sunscreen
Poor weather cancels the hike - though it could be moved to Sunday if enough are interested.
