Bear Mountain State Park is a frequent fall hiking spot for seasoned vets, since many of them are challenging climbs with rewarding views.
You can access the peak via two routes: the East Trail, which is 1.8 miles one way, and the West Trail, which is 2.2 miles one way, both providing a moderate hiking experience.
Turning this fall hike into a fall getaway by booking a night at the historical Bear Mountain Inn enhances the overall autumnal experience.
When you get to the top of Mt. Van Hoevenberg, you'll be greeted with sweeping views of the High Peaks Wilderness, just colored in autumn reds and oranges.
