The weather had been good, with a bright sunny sky and temperatures in the upper 50's. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, I picked this trail for a more quiet location, arriving early to this trail which has a great view and was still relatively quiet being that the road had just opened after being closed all winter.
We parked on the roadside trailhead parking on Kanawauke Road, and took the Ramapo-Dunderberg Trail north, climbed to the view at Black Rock Mountain, and then headed north a bit more to Black Rock and enjoyed the view there. We then turned back around and at the intersection of the Dunning Trail, and bushwacked down the rock faces along the ridge, parallel to the Ramapo Dunderberg Trail. We reached the road at the parking area at the end of the bushwhack.
