THE HIKE:
|
The Long Path runs through South Mountain County Park and starts at the parking lot entrance but we went to check out the amphitheater first which is beyond the gate. |
|
Looks like this must be it. |
|
Back to the parking lot entrance to get on the Long Path. |
|
Now we are on top of the amphitheater. |
|
Sun rising over the mountains. |
|
A few little glimpses of views to the right before ... |
|
...views of New York City. |
|
At the tower you can take a service road or the Long Path. |
|
We took the service road and looped back on the Long Path. |
|
The service road ends at Route 33, turn left before the gate to get back on the Long Path. |
|
This is the more rugged section of the Long Path through South Mountain County Park. |
|
Retracing back. |
|
I was picking up litter on the way back and went to pick this up but the cup was ice cold so I left it. I shouldn't have. There was nobody else in the parking lot when I got back. Lazy #&*$^*# people :( |
|
Back at the parking lot. |
|
The rest of the litter I picked up. |
On to Mt. Ivy County Park, a 1.5 mile drive away.
