Harriman Hike from Tuxedo
About the event
Let's hike Harriman. It's a less crowded, more wild park. We'll do approximately 8 miles over some hills, rocky outcrops and past a lake. We'll start at Tuxedo train station, making our way to Parker Cabin Mountain, Lake Skenoto and back to Tuxedo.
Newbies are welcome but YOU NEED TO BE AEROBICALLY FIT, an experienced hiker or jogger. The trails are rocky and it's a long day of hiking.
TRAIN FROM NYC: Arrive at Penn Station around 8:35am. We’ll meet inside Penn Station, at the bottom of the escalators at the 7th Ave and 32nd Street entrance. NJTransit ticket booths are right there.

DRIVERS: This hike starts and ends in the same place. We'll meet you at Tuxedo train station at 10:30am. There's parking lot a few blocks from the station, but please meet us at the train station. Check the signs and make sure it’s legal to park here. I don’t drive, so I don’t know the rules. Here's the Google pin for the lot [https://maps.app.goo.gl/cBLZKbuDHJthENyq6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/cBLZKbuDHJthENyq6)
