Hiking
Halfmoon Mountain as the name says, has the form of a halfmoon with expansive panoramic views of North Halfmoon Valley. The mountain can be accessed by Halfmoon Trail (short) or Bucktail Trail (long); both paths are well marked, choosing which one you take depends if you want more of an easy hike to the viewpoint or a long loop in the forest leading to the top.
