#bearsnose never really took off
The Bear Stuck it's Appalachian in Anthony's Nose Hard Hike
Original trip description:
This is going to be an epic Hard hike. Starting from Bear Mountain, we're hiking across Bear Mountain Bridge to Anthony's Nose, then north 10 miles along a stretch of the Appalachian Trail, through Hudson Highlands State Park to depart from Garrison, NY. That's right hikers, this is possibly the only hike that takes us through trails on both sides of the Hudson in the same day! We'll get dramatic terrain changes, the whole while enjoying grand views of the Hudson River, West Point, and other unexpected awesomeness. Regardless of the weather, you won't get cold; we'll be maintaining a brisk pace throughout (about 30 minutes per mile, including some very easy trail running) and will be thoroughly deserving some serious eats when we get back to NYC. If you're planning to hike the AT, trek Machu Pichu, Patagonia, Nepal, or Kilimanjaro, this trip is perfect training. We'll be meeting in front of the Schnippers at the ground floor of the New York Times Building at 8am and walking over as a group to the Port Authority on 41st and 8th ave to take the 8:45a Shortline Bus headed to Bear Mountain-West Point (buy one way, ~$18). We should be done by 6p (including breaks). Bring your headlamp or flashlight, just in case. We'll be returning on the Metro North Hudson Line to Grand Central (~$18) at around 7 or 8p (trains run hourly). Please submit $20 "donation" via Paypal or reply to this email to reserve your spot.
