This is a good short hike. It is in a new section of Daters County Park, and these two trails are new. I was excited to see these new additions in the 2008 Edition of the Harriman Trail Maps. Daters Park is adjacent to Harriman, and the Orange Trail continues into Harriman. I started at the parking area on Johnsontown Rd., and headed up the Orange Trail, until it intersected with the beginning of the Blue Trail. Went southwest on the blue trail until the view which is right above the Thruway. This view is literally directly above the highway, and you are looking down straight onto it.
Continued along till the end of the Blue Trail at the Orange Trail, and then took the Orange Trail back up the mountain and then down. There is a really good view here facing North and South Hills, and Diamond and Halfway Mountains in Harriman. This view is not show on the map, but it is a very good one. I continued down the Orange Trail back to the car.
