Community Hike: Appalachian Trail at Bear Mountain

 Registration is closed for this event
Come out and join us on a Guided Hike!

To thank you for being a supporter of the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, please be our guest on a fall equinox hike with us at Bear Mountain, Friday, September 21 at 9:30 a.m.  Together we’ll tour the most intense and comprehensive footpath rehabilitation project on the entire Appalachian Trail.  Trail Conference volunteers built the first section of the A.T. here in 1923 and today it receives over a million visitors every year. On your hike, we’ll meet skilled Trail Conference crew members and see firsthand how cutting edge technology is creating sustainable trails, built to last for our lifetimes and beyond.

This will be a moderately paced hike of about 4 miles with a few hundred feet of elevation gain. We will meet at Perkins Tower, located at the summit of Bear Mountain on Perkins Memorial Drive. Please arrive early to ensure finding a parking space. Dress for conditions, bring plenty of water and wear hiking shoes with ankle support.
