Located only 45 miles from the bustling metropolis of New York City, Bear Mountain is a lovely hike that offers views from the top of the Hudson Highlands region and even the Manhattan skyline.
The summit is reachable via hiking trails as well as by a paved road that is accessible by car, and parking within Bear Mountain-Harriman State Park costs a small daily fee. Most visitors drive to the top, but the trails to the summit are scenic and peaceful.
Bear Mountain intersects with the famous Appalachian Trail, which crosses the historic and beautiful Bear Mountain Bridge, which is the longest bridge on the entire 2,200-mile trail. Map
