| MelNino | Fun lil hike  Date Climbed: May 6, 2012 | |
| The trail up was a good hike. Crowded at the summit. The AT down was probably the best maintained trail I've ever seen. Def want to go back. | |

| Not way too many people on trail and I didn't mind the people at the top. If your looking for solitude, this is not the place to go. If your looking for a nice hike and don't mind seeing other people outdoors, this was a good day. Great views. | |

| Lovely hike, though parking is a rip-off and I wasn't a big fan of the car/bike show at the top. Way too crowded, and seriously I don't need to hear revving engines constantly. Went to the area with the rescued animals afterward, which was very interesting. | |

| TLP | nice saturday, but crowded Date Climbed: Oct 18, 2008 | |
| It was a nice day, so I went to Bear Mountain after working all night. I liked the mountain in the fall scenery, but man it was too crowded on the summit, and the park. Total rip-off to park there. I would never go again there on a weekend during the fall, summer, or spring. Go there in the winter on a weekday. | |

| Perfect day hike ex-New York City. Hiked in the snow and only saw four other people on the trail. Perfect weather and visibility. | |

| silversummit | Did this in 69, 70 and 71 ... | |
| Backpacked on AT over this and ran out of water with our group going through here during a blazing hot July. Don't remember much except this and the crowds! | |

| Parenteau | Fun hike | |
| Haven't been there in years, but always had more fun just going for the top not using the trails. | |

| EastcoastMike | Good hike/run | |
| I like running the AT, however the other trail has better opportunity for a little scramble. | |
| Posted Oct 17, 2007 10:38 pm | ||
| alex | Great place to run | |
| Going over and descending Bear Mountain is usually the highlight of any run on the Harriman/Bear Mountain trails. Excellent trails with fewer crowds during the winter. | |

| Big Skies 808 | Training for the AT | |
| A nice hike. The training wasn't good enough because I got my ass kicked in Maine and peaced off the trail. | |

| One of my first NY peaks. We decided to do it on a freezing day and had a good trip. I have some photos that I am uploading as well. Did Major Welch trail and Schunnemunk Mountain in the same day, makes for a nice day. | |
