Long Mountain Panoramic Vista

Embark on an easy hike along the Torrey Memorial via Long Path, a 1.7-mile (2.7 km) route that offers a quick escape into nature. You will gain 309 feet (94 metres) in elevation, making for a pleasant 50-minute journey through oak forests with an open understory. The trail features varied terrain, including some rocky sections and gentle ascents, leading you to the Raymond H. Torrey Memorial for expansive 360-degree panoramic views.

When planning your visit, be aware that while this specific route is easy, other sections of the Long Path in Harriman State Park can be more rugged with steeper grades. Parking is generally available at trailheads that provide access to the Long Path. If there have been heavy rains, crossing Deep Hollow Brook might present a challenge, so check conditions beforehand.

This route is a segment of the much longer Long Path, a significant trail within Harriman State Park. The Raymond H. Torrey Memorial, located on Long Mountain, is a key landmark, honoring a conservationist and offering clear views of features like Bear Mountain and Turkey Hill Lake below. It is a great way to experience a piece of this historic trail system.
