After tagging little Fingerboard mountain in Harriman SP I headed back over to the east side of the Hudson and up to Beacon to visit the DAR monument on the summit of North Beacon. Still overcast with small bits of blue sky and the coolness of early Fall. Surprising number of people heading up and down on the trail for a weekday. Some new improvements to the parking lot at Mt Beacon Park, not the old stone lot anymore. Now we need to close off all the unsightly renegade trails that cause erosion to the environs.
