Hike Jessup/West Ridge Loop via the Sweet Clover Trail
Schunnemunk Mountain State Park is one of my favorite parks. It offers many trails and possibilities for different loops. The attraction of Schunnemunk Mountain is the long double ridges running parallel to each other and amazing views in all directions.This hike starts at the Taylor Road parking area. Cross Taylor road and hike up the Sweet Clover Trail which is marked with white blazes. T...
Hike the Stillman - Bluebird Loop
This loop hike starts at the northern trailhead of the park where the Stillman Trail begins. The parking area has enough space for only 6 or 7 cars. Start off on a wide maintained carriage road. After about a half mile, the Stillman Trail (yellow markers) breaks of to the left. However, stay on the carriage road until it meets up with the Bluebird Trail (blue/red markers). Along the carria...
Hike the North Point Loop
There is three different trailheads to access the North Point Loop. I chose the trailhead that would give me the longest hike. That would be the Butter Hill parking area on Route 9W north. From the parking lot, start on the connector trail designated with white markers. Follow this for about .5 miles until the trail ends on the Howell Trail.
Turn right on the Howell Trail designated with bl...

The Highlands Trail and the Long Path also share this trai...
Sunset Point - South Beacon Mountain Loop
This loop hike form the Notch Trail northern trailhead on Route 9D.
There is enough parking at this trailhead for about 5-6 cars. The Notch
Trail is identified with blue trail markers. It is well maintained and
plenty of markers to guide your way. This is important because there
are many unmarked fire roads in this area and it is very easy to lose
your way. As part of this loop h...
