Harriman--West Mountain and Timp

The Story

This strenuous 8-mile hike starts at the Anthony Wayne Rec Area and follows the Timp-Torne Trail to the West Mountain Shelter, stopping briefly at the dozen lookouts along the way. We then descend into Timp Pass and up to the top of Timp. We return down Timp, pick up the R-D Trail, pass Cat's Elbow, and take a steep descent down the mountain. The last mile+ is an easy walk on Beechy Bottom Rd. Elevation gain is about 1200+. Our pace will be 2+ mph with brief stops and a lunch break. Bring plenty of water and snacks, plus appropriate seasonal items (sun and insect protection in summer, and crampons in winter).
