Bear Mountain, located in the Hudson Highlands of southeastern New York, is one of the most notable landmarks on the Appalachian Trail in the state. The AT crosses directly over the summit, which stands at 1,305 feet, which is not especially high, but it is a historically and symbolically significant summit; it’s home to the oldest continuously maintained section of the Appalachian Trail, built in 1923, and features wide stone steps and paved walkways constructed by trail crews and the Civilian Conservation Corps. For many hikers, Bear Mountain is also the site of the lowest elevation point on the AT, near the Hudson River just before the climb. From the top, you get sweeping views of the Hudson Valley, and the surrounding Bear Mountain State Park includes a lake, picnic areas, the Trailside Museum and Zoo (which the AT technically passes through), and access to nearby Perkins Memorial Tower. It’s a popular day hike, so don’t be surprised to share the trail with weekend crowds, especially in fall.

Bear Mountain peaks at just under 1,300 feet in elevation over a 4.5-mile stretch of picturesque paved road. Although it may seem small in comparison to some of the world’s renowned climbs, it makes up for this with stunning views of the Hudson Highlands.

The road makes a loop around the summit of Bear Mountain with the Perkins Memorial Tower at its center. From the top you get sweeping views south across the Hudson, Harriman State Park, and the route taken by the Appalachian Trail.

Popular hiking destination not far from New York City with great views

Nice small lake in Bear mountain state park. In the summer you can rent a paddle boat and fishing is allowed in season

The unobstructed 360 views are worth the extra 70 feet up the tower when it's open

No views here as they are blocked by the trees, but it's the tallest natural point on the mountain as the geodesic marker indicates

It's a steep rock scramble, maybe 1/2 mile long or less, but the views make it worth it.
