 As mentioned elsewhere on our website, Harriman Hikers makes frequent forays into other parks and preserves beyond our namesake, Harriman (State Park, NY) and on this particular Sunday in May, our Hike Leader, Greg led us on a wonderful hike up and down the steep hills of Storm King State Park, NY to enjoy some of the many gorgeous vistas of the Hudson River and the adjacent valleys and lowlands.
From the Harriman Hikers Home Page (in case you are new to our hiking group):

  • About Our Hikes Harriman Hikers hikes are what many would consider “intermediate level”, which is to say, “hikers should be in good physical condition and under prevailing weather conditions, capable of hiking 7-8 miles over hilly and rocky wilderness terrain where some hills can be steep”.
  • Hiking boots and a light duty backpack or fannypack are recommended. Please dress appropriately for the season and weather, with brisk activity in mind; bring plenty of drinking water and your own lunch. Otherwise, no special equipment is needed.
