I relatively like the hiking courses in the Ramapo area, and hiking here is also fun because there are intermittent streams and various courses. I walked Claudius Smith’s Den Short Loop clockwise for 5 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes. You can occasionally see people hiking with dogs, but it is a relatively quiet course. One thing that's disappointing is that you can't park right in front of the trailhead, so you have to park near the train station and walk for about 10 minutes. Other than that, it is a relatively beautiful and recommended hiking course.

This is a good walking area, not for people with bad knees and who can't cope with walking on rough ground. Take plenty of water, food and snacks, there's no facilities (toilet at Tuxedo railroad station). If you go by train from NYC give yourself plenty of time to get back to the train. One star lost because on the Yellow route (which we walked) there wasn't any great views to speak of, just looking over a small lake at one point, but we did see plenty of interesting insects.

Amazing hike (year round) from this trailhead (park at the train station & walk in). A few hours or all day - we did 11 miles on a sunny & icy January weekday and it was gorgeous. Only saw 2 other hikers all day. Keep your eyes out for the trail markers as the trails criss cross and it’s easy to inadvertently change trails. The trail map at the trailhead only includes a few of the trails.

Stumbled upon this place after hiking a few different trails leaving from the nearby Reeves Meadow Visitor Center. It's a weird spot with no parking allowed but relatively peaceful even on a warm Saturday afternoon.

Beautiful trails with so many different route options! Easy access from the Tuxedo train station. Worthwhile to get a map (there’s a booth at the farmer’s market every Saturday) since there are so many different trails that crisscross, though they are pretty well marked. Make sure to bring in enough water because the water sources are not always reliable. Enjoy your hike!
