<\/div>\n\nThis loop hike is one of the more rewarding hikes in Harriman State Park due the number of great view points.\u00a0 However, this is a difficult trail due to many rocks and steep climbs and descents, occasionally requiring your hands.\u00a0 The trailhead parking area can get very congested because this is also the trailhead to access Pine Meadow Lake where the majority of the visitors go.\u00a0 The parking lot is small however, parking is permitted on the road in certain areas at the lot entrance.\u00a0 Be sure to read the street signs.\u00a0 Reeves Meadow visitor center is also located here and has seasonal bathrooms.<\/h4>\nFrom the parking lot with the visitor center on your left, follow the Pine Meadow trail (red markers) for 1.5 miles.\u00a0 The Pine Meadow trail meets the Seven Hills Trail (blue markers).\u00a0 Turn right here on the Seven Hills Trail and follow for 1.6 miles.\u00a0 The trail follows the ridge of Chipmunk Mountain and has some great view points. At a location called Torne View, the Raccoon Brook Hills Trail (black markers) is on the left. Turn left onto this trail and follow .7 miles, past the “Pulpit” rock formation where the trail intersects with the Hillburn-Torne-Sebago Trail (Orange markers).<\/h4>\nTurn right onto the H-T-S Trail.\u00a0 After about .3 miles you will reach the “Russian Bear” view point with great views of the Ramapo Valley.\u00a0 Continue on the H-T-S-Trail for another 1.2 miles where you reach the Ramapo Torne view point. The descent from the Ramapo Torne is very steep requiring some down climbing.\u00a0 The H-T-S- Trail ends on the Seven Hills Trail .8 miles from Ramapo Torne.\u00a0 Turn left on the Seven Hills Trail and follow for 1.4 miles back to the Pine Meadow Trail.\u00a0 Turn right and in a short distance you will be back at the parking area.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
