11.5 Miles to the Lake

That’s a pretty rugged trail, and a lovely destination. Thanks for posting. I also enjoyed a rare outing with my wife recently. She does like backpacking, but it’s hard to tear her away from her bikes.

Thanks. It was slightly rugged, typical Harriman and New York with all the roots and rocks, gravel and boulders.. the mountains in Harriman are not anything to fret as far as elevation, nothing close to 3000ft at all.. plenty of ups and downs though and as you see in the video, some nice lakes throughout. Usually there are plenty of gushing creeks and streams too, but by mid August,  with little rain a lot of them dry up and are a mere trickle if that.

Thanks for posting another one – nice that your wife joined you.  I’ve been on the Thruway a couple of times this summer and can’t drive past the Harriman exits without thinking of you and Bob.  Even when I watch your videos I expect to see I-87 in the distance as you look out from the overlooks.

Hahaaa Kevin!! Yes it is Bobs back yard.. and my closest escape to some wilderness for quick overnights. Maybe one day we will cross paths out there!!!!
