This is a very challenging hike. Harriman SP is a rocky area where bad boots go to die. The first day is a 13.7 mile trip with 2000 foot elevation gain. The raccoon hill section (white blaze black dot) even has a section with a ladder on the descent. pretty rough on the feet. The stone memorial shelter has no water. But if it's rainy has a few spots to lay out a plastic sheet for catchment. Pine lake is a mile away but be mindful of bears as there is a lot of trash from campers.
