Bear Mtn, DoodleTown, Perkins Peak

Bear Mtn, Perkins Peak via Doodletown
Miles: 7 miles
Elevation peak 1260 ft
Trails taken: Doodletown rd, Bridle Path, Bear Mtn APP trail, Blue blaze

Doodletown rd was the main street that goes thru this abandoned Ghost town, All the houses have been demolished but the cemetery and mines.

2 lost creepy guys... (Doodle Town)

(Bridle Path)

(Bear Mtn Trail, APP)

I said "Gangsta Pose" not the complete opposite!
(Sam, Rich, T)
So besides the Northface race thatran thru all the peaks of Harriman State Park (West side), this is the 5th Peak I hit

Best Picture of the day!

Guest Appearance R.Wong

Hey SlackJaw, Its not everyday you pose, Karate Kid style on a rock, on top of a Mountain. The Mountain has spoken!

We really come here to fight, since it's still illegal in NY.

(We fight Matrix Style)

..back home to catch the Worldcup

Main Bear Mtn Trail (without going thru Doodletown and the Brindle PAth)
Miles: 2.5)
Elevation climb :1100ft +

Pros: Trail head starts at main Bear Mtn Park (with bbq pits, lake and bathrooms), The completion of the giant stones this year makes for a easy 101 hike for a 1100 ft climb, hard to get lost, great views, free parking.

Cons: Easy hike attacts many hikers making it not as adventurous, this side has very few wildlife to explore, Can hit the peak and back down within 2hrs.

...as usual feel free to email me for directions or you would like to join me on the next hike.
