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.
