It's been over fifteen years since moving from New York to Ohio. But on every visit to NY I make sure to stop at Bear Mountain State Park. It's one of the most amazing natural places to visit when you are in NY.
I know New York is famous for it's buildings, but the surreal natural scenic wonders an hour or so away from New York city get ignored most of the time.
If you ever visit New York, make sure to visit Bear Mountain, the seven lakes, and other natural and historical locations present around the state.
I have chosen a few images from google for Bear Mountain, I am not that good at taking amazing pictures like these. We are in the summer season where everything is green and blue, but in the fall, Bear mountain wears an amazing dress of beautiful colours.
Superb, pristine nature. What kind of camera are you using?
It captures the details of the water very well :)

It looks like one of the landscape paintings by an artist of a imaginary place that looks like a perfect spot for vacation. very good picture even if it is from google search still outstanding views. I hope to travel to NY and check out the stop at Bear Mountain State Park

Did you happen to walk the stone staircase built into the mountain? By the end of that hike i was sweating my ass off

Actually we never hiked the park, we just rode endless miles there and wife did a couple Triathlons there. I never raced that course to hard for me hahaha, but i did enjoy watching ppl try to fly up the hills. =) The look on their faces was priceless!

Man my first car a Toyota used to struggle up those hills lol, you must have legs of steel to bike up those roads.
Rockland county has a few places worth visiting, I am glad I lived in the area.

Trust me, i was Hurting just like your Toyota! But i had a couple friends that would ride next to me (the climb was nothing to them) talking their ass off, i had to tell one of them to F off one time because i thought i was going to die. LOL

Even more beautiful than I remember from my childhood days! As a Puerto Rican kid growing up in Spanish Harlem, Bear Mountain and The 7 Lakes were the place to go. Later in life, it became a thing to go hang out in City Island. At least for my siblings. 3 gone now.Still 4 of us left. Memories are almost all I have left. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful photos, our family would travel from New Jersey to Michigan every summer to see our cousins back in the 60s and on the way back one year we went through Canada to Niagara Falls and then on to the Catskills of New York and it was a beautiful trip.

Upstate NY and the Adirondacks in particular are very underrated for their natural beauty and magnificence.
"Adirondack Park is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous U.S., covering six million acres in northern New York—bigger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks combined."
I have taken several trips to the area, incredible beauty.
