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.

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.

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.

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Sunsets are amazing here. Just north of the bridge, you can park your car if you do not want to ride at night.

Woodlands Lake - V. E. Macy Park

Highlight • Lake

Pretty, scenic spot to stop and watch waterfowl and have a snack on your way up and outta the city. There are benches and picnic tables here around the reservoir, which is actually part of the Sawmill River. Can't miss it from the Trailway.
