Bear Mountain State Park

Nature Reserve

28.6 km

At the summit of Bear Mountain there is an option to turn onto a spur road that descends roughly 300 vertical feet down to a roundabout. Great views on the way, but the road is in very rough condition so don't attempt if you aren't confident that your tires can handle it. Also keep in mind that this is a dead end road. You will have to go back up to the summit of Bear Mountain before you can go back down the mountain.

View of the Hudson Highlands from Bear Mountain

Highlight • Viewpoint

At its peak, Bear Mountian is just shy of 1,300ft in elevation on a 4.5 mile stretch of beautiful paved road - a tiny mole hill compared to some of the world’s most famous climbs. However, what it lacks in grandeur makes up for having some of the best views of the Hudson highlands.

Bear Mountain is part of our Montagnes du Monde series, head over to bit.ly/3BjZq77 and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Perkins Memorial Tower

On the plateau of Bear Mountain is the Perkins Memorial Tower. At the same time you have a breathtaking view of the New York City skyline and the mountains. In addition, you have a great view of the Hudson River.

Bear Mountain Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A 4.6 mile climb from starting near the Hudson River by 9W going all the way to the summit. The gradient is 4-5% through most of the climb with a few short but steeper sections of 7-9%. There are fantastic views that can can be seen throughout the climb as well as the summit. Depending on the time you go there can be many cars driving to the top, but they should not be going too fast.

Bear Mountain Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The first and only bridge across the Hudson River for cyclists north of George Washington Bridge. Drivers can be reckless sometimes but the shoulder is wide enough.
