Ditto,
NOOOO Harriman, been a couple of times…eh, you’re right, too boring for me. Unless, I didn’t do the right trails.
If you want to head a little further north, there’s some great trails in the Catskills (2.5 hrs from bklyn). One of my favorites is an escarpment trail with some rock scrambling. It’s not too difficult and an average healthy person can do it, children also. At the foot of the mountain there’s a gorgeous lake to have lunch / dinner.
I once climbed vertically between two cliffs, the opening was at it’s widest about 3′, using only my fingers and toes. That was the scariest thing I’ve ever done. One slip and I was a goner, straight down.
Feb. 5 (Bloomberg) — Fortunoff Holdings LLC, the luxury goods chain that closed its flagship Manhattan store last month, filed for bankruptcy a year after it last sought Chapter 11 court protection.
The petition for Chapter 11 filed today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan listed more than $100 million in assets and liabilities. NRDC Equity Partners LLC bought Uniondale, New York- based Fortunoff last March for $110 million, including $80 million in cash.
The Anti-Gravity is broken. The Mutant Asset Bubble is collapsing! This whole “experiment” is over. Rest in pieces ..
They don’t call this Crown Heights for nothing, ya know.
From the top of the peaks here, you can see from the Valley of the Sloped Park, all the way down to the Village of William, across the liquid expanse to that blessed isle know as Manhattan. It literally takes your breath away. The awe, the majesty.
We used to have a natural waterful because our GC didn’t line up the spout correctly with the gutter. Portions of the pipe kept falling off. We eventually diverted this natural wonder by redoing this piece of the job properly. Nothing quite as catastrophic as the three Gorges Dam. We lost our special “view” but our neighbor sleeps better on rainy nights now.
PS, Ditto and BRG, I’m a big fan of Harriman (the park, not the railroad magnate, although he was quite a character). I grew up near the park. Great hikes start up the hill from the Tiorati parking lot, as well as from the visitor’s center near Sloatsburg. Get a map and try to make it to the lemon squeezer. Also, good hikes on the Jersey side in Norvin Green and over in West Milford.

> “Are there any natural waterfalls?”
Does a broken fire hydrant count? I saw one of those this morning, and it was making a lovely spot for ice skating.
DIBS,

GMAP has a terrain option
Can anyone post a topographical map for Brooklyn? I’d like to see where the best hiking spots are. Are there any natural waterfalls?
SNAP SNAP SNAP!!!
Well its probably too boring for you with your death defying slips – Harriman State Park. Very close too. You really shouldn’t wear pumps when hiking.
