Ramapo Torne/Raccoon Brook Hills Trail Loop in Harriman State Park


Take the NJ Transit/Metro-North Port Jervis Line to the Sloatsburg station. 
From the station, cross the railroad tracks and head north on Ballard Avenue. When Ballard Avenue ends, turn right onto Academy Avenue and continue to Seven Lakes Drive. Turn right on Seven Lakes Drive, continue under the New York State Thruway, and pass Greenway Road and Laurel Road on the right. A short distance beyond, about 0.9 mile from the train station, you'll reach a bridge over the Stony Brook. On the bridge, you will notice a triple red-square-on-white blaze and a directional arrow, which mark the trailhead of the Pine Meadow Trail.
Some kind of fungus. The size is pretty impressive. 
Follow Pine Meadow Trail for another 0.7 mile until you reach an intersection where it turns left and the blue-on-white blazed Seven Hills Trail continues ahead. Look around, you'll probably bump into a deer or two...

Keep it to your right and merge into the orange trail. There was ome serious climbing before reaching to the first view point of Ramapo Torne. 
View point #1
A den.
More climing...
View Point #2, and perfect place for a lunch picnic. 
Climbing again...
View Point #3
Top of the world!
Another deer...
Go back to the blue-on-white blazed Seven Hills Trail.

Stony Brooks...
