Location: Bear Mountain State Park

Trail Map

We’re heading back to Bear Mountain.  One year ago, almost to the day, we trekked up Bear Mountain in the snow and ice.  In our last adventure, we almost didn’t find the lean-to at the peak, and would’ve had to have set up camp in 10° weather with almost no shelter from the wind.  Luckily, we stumbled upon the camp site at the last second, just as daylight started to fade.  This year, at least we know where we’re going.

Here’s a rough inventory of the gear I’m bringing.
