Appalachian Trail Genesis

Such a prety scenery, more or less around 5 miles from bear mountain statepark.. be mindful that this is a vertical hike altough no climbing skill necesary.. fitness do required, but like every other hike.. the gorgeous view paid all the sweat and tears lol for anyone who come for foliage, as per 8 oct 23 it hasn't show up,better wait for the next 2 weeks

Great spot to have a picnic after a long hike. Handicap accessible from car and parking lot for those who aren't able. When the weather is clear you can see Manhattan.

Tremendous, mind-blowing, quite and peaceful nature.Wanna refresh a bit from our busy life? Everyone should enjoy this natural view. I want visit again and again... Awesome experience.

I am hoping to hike the Appalachian Trail here pretty soon from what I can see from everybody else's videos on YouTube they're all having a very good time hiking the Appalachian Trail so I'm encouraging others to do the same you will have fun no matter where you go in life just have fun and never give up because you never know what you can do until you put your mind to it so go for it and of May the force be with you and baby Yoda.

Always been one of fav destinations all seasons round the year. Had a great time this pre fall again. The pictures says it all. This time got parking close enough to the Perkins Memorial tower and then walked down the scenic trail.. For the first timers- It all paved driveway all through and an awesome drive through the up and down hill..

I loved the hike, the half way point gives amazing view of valley, then the way up stairs are more tiring as compared to those at start. Those he want to skip hike and check out the tower can go by road aswell. This time of the year whole trails is very green and beautiful. It took us 1 hour aprox. To go up the hike and 45 minutes to get down to the lake. I hope this information is helpful

The trail is challenging ,beatiful scenery, and a great way to spend a day between friends or family. Please let's keep the trail cleans.
