Favorite Go-To, Quick and Easy
This is one of my favorite hikes for when I don't have a lot of time to do a longer hike. Though short and sweet, you still get a great scenic viewpoint and a nice experience through the woods on the way out.

 True, the route has changed
<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>True, the route has changed a bit. The old route was getting very eroded in places, and had several places with bare rock that could be slippery in wet or snowy conditions and where a lot of trail widening occurred. The new route ia slightly longer (0.15 miles) and safer, but it brings you to the top of Long Mountain well before the Torrey Memorial. The new route is well marked with LP Aqua blazes and does not really require a new map, but it is shown on the new Harriman map that is being produced.</p> <p>Jakob Franke, Chair LP South</p>
