Bear Mountain Loop Trail (New York): Bear Mountain State Park

We hiked the Bear Mountain Loop Trail for the second time on May 13, 2022! We were excited to bring our rescue dogs Tucker & Chase along for the hike (it was way too hot last time)! This trail is ranked #1 on All Trails for the state of New York and we can definitely see why. The views of the Hudson River and surrounding area are beautiful and the hiking & rock scrambling is a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy this video as much as Tucker & Chase enjoyed the hike! Please subscribe to our TH-cam Channel, more adventures are on the way! You can also follow us on Instagram @HANDSTANDZnHANDCUFFZ, thanks in advance :)

Is this good for first timers? This trail looks amazing. Friends & I are possibly planning to do this trail in the next few weeks.

All Trails ranks this as “moderate,” it’s not too long but it does have over 1,000 feet of elevation gain! If you’re an active person, this should be able to do this- just take your time, start early so it’s not too hot, and bring a lot of water! Good luck and have fun! :)

Hey, thank you for the video!
We live in France and we’re coming to Bear Mountain in October 2024. Would you say this is a safe place? Regarding the bears 😅

[@HANDSTANDZnHANDCUFFZ]

@@liaunfer4374 We’ve been here a few times and never saw any bears but always be careful and aware of your surroundings! Hope you have a great time! 😊

Hello, I live in Manhattan, trying to get the addresse using google ap and alltrail but nothing.

[@HANDSTANDZnHANDCUFFZ]

Route 9W North
Bear Mountain, NY 10911 is the address in Google, the trail starts at the main parking lot area by the big lake. It should pop up in AllTrails that’s what we used.

Hi, how do you get there from Manhattan?

[@chamcham123]

FYI. There is a bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal that goes to Bear Mountain.

Would this be doable for small and medium dog?

[@HANDSTANDZnHANDCUFFZ]

I can’t see why not, we have 2 medium sized dogs and they had no issues.
