Traverse of the Suffern-Bear Mountain Trail that spans the eastern side of Harriman State Park, plus some bonus miles and elevation with an out-and-back of Bear Mountain along the Appalachian Trail to finish up the trek. Marathon of a day- 26.3 miles and 5,160 feet of gain in 9.5 hours of solid hiking. Caught the sunrise atop Nordkop Mountain, had beautiful bluebird skies all day, and was able to make it home in time for dinner!

Thanks Nimblefoot! It was really enjoyable to immerse myself in Harriman for the day!
Nimblefoot
That’s the way to do it. Did the Mrs join you that day?
wacbravo
No, due to work she couldn't join me for this one. But she's been working her way up to the longer day hikes. She has her sights on a single day thru of the Devil's Path later this year, and I'm excited to watch her crush it!
Nimblefoot
Good for her👍 It’s a great achievement. I hope to do it again myself.
