Sunday I went with a group organized by the Central Park Conservancy to hike up Bear Mountain. We met at the North Meadow Recreation Center at 9 am. After a little delay 14 of us piled into two vans and headed out across the George Washington Bridge and up the Palisades to Bear Mountain. It was about an hour ride up a tree lined highway. The three mile hike turned into a much longer hike when I found myself in the fast group. There were some rocky and steep points and my legs are a bit sore today. Over all it was great hike with beautiful surroundings.
