I put together a hike that I organized on LinkedIn, and the result was several hike-minded professionals that joined for this great hike. We parked at Anthony Wayne Recreation Area on the Palisades Parkway, and took the Anthony Wayne Trail to the Fawn Trail. We took the Fawn Trail to the Timp-Torne Trail at the ridgecrest, and climbed up the mountain along the ridge on the Timp-Torne Trail.
What I like about the trail are the continuous views along the ascent, climaxing with views of both the east and west sides of the mountain. At the top where we connected with the Appalachian Trail we took a quick rest at the view before descending. We descended along the Appalachian Trail, taking it to the Fawn Trail, back to the Anthony Wayne Trail and back to the parking area.
