Appalachian Trail: to Bear Mountain with Anthony’s Nose
Saturday, February 15, 2025
In this hike series, we are taking on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world – one section at a time. This is a really cool section of the trail! We’ll take a short detour off the AT to check out the amazing views at Anthony’s Nose. We’ll then continue over the Bear Mountain Bridge and end at Bear Mountain State Park. Of course, this is the perfect opportunity to stop by the Bear Mountain Inn to get some hot chocolate after the hike. This hike is close to the City, so there is no long drive in the van to enjoy this adventure. Because this is a point-to-point hike, there is no need to double-back. It’s only the Appalachian Trail (plus Anthony’s Nose!), and it’s new places all day long. Come explore the AT with us!
