Harriman Hikers at Pine Swamp Mine, Harriman State Park, NY 1/3/2010 on YouTube
It was too icy and slippery (thin ice with water underneath! 
) to go up inside the Pine Swamp Mine on Sunday, but some history and some great photos of the mine can be found here:
This post will be an ongoing update of photos we use for the home page header during the Winter months of 2009.
The photo below shows Big Hill Shelter after the snow / ice storm the weekend of January 10 / 11, 2009. Special thanks to Mary for looking back over her shoulder and noticing this view as were headed down the hill from the shelter after lunch!
It is late fall and officially, Winter will arrive December 22nd (Winter Solstice) – but cold weather is NEVER a reason to stay cooped up and inactive – git out and HIKE!
Harriman Hikers has published an informative and helpful article for the purpose of assisting those who would like to hike in the cooler weather prepare and outfit themselves properly for such activity – Oufitting and dressing yourself properly is not as hard and cold weather hiking is more fun than you might think!

Lately, Fall has been in its full splendor in Harriman State Park, NY, Harriman Hikers’ “back yard”, so to speak. Everyone will probably agree this Autumn has been an exceptional leaf-peeping season, with mild, sunny weather on weekends and few windy storms that can and have caused early blow-down in other years.
Harriman Hikers has received information indicating intention by New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine to close High Point State Park (as well as a number of other NJ State Parks) as part of 2008 NJ State budget cuts.
