This is a must visit for me every time I'm in New York!! I love the views and the peacefulness felt here. The ride up and the views through the mountain is breathtaking. You can walk up the mountain if you have a couple of hours to spend and energy to burn. The trails are enjoyable. Bring a camera because the views are some of the best in the area.

Great view and really cool spot! The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of respect it seemed a lot of cars had for the bikers, especially on the tight turns up the mountain. People can’t wait to rev their engines to zoom around everyone when cars are also coming down the opposite direction. Otherwise, super beautiful.

Loved visiting Perkins Memorial Tower! Awesome sights and so many places to relax! Vending machines were clutch as well and accepted credit card payments. Vending machines had powerades, water, teas, and a variety of snacks. Also went into the tower which was neat. A lot of history to read about as you make your way to the top! Was able to see the NYC skyline when I was there!!

Climbing Bear Mountain with friends is an unforgettable, high-energy adventure that rewards every bit of effort you put into the trail. Pushing through the rugged, beautifully maintained stone steps of the Appalachian Trail section together makes the journey feel like a true shared achievement, filled with plenty of laughs, water breaks, and motivating team spirit. Reaching the summit and standing before the historic, stone-built Perkins Memorial Tower is the ultimate payoff; climbing up to the observation deck opens up a stunning, panoramic view of the Hudson River, the surrounding highlands, and even the distant New York City skyline on a clear day. It's the perfect mix of a challenging workout and spectacular scenery, making it an absolute must-do hike for any crew looking to experience the best of New York's natural beauty.
