Confirmed from Timp Torne & Jones Point Path Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Trails with stunning panoramas, including of the Hudson and Bear Mountain Bridges .
What runners say about Timp Torne & Jones Point Path Trailhead
“Beautiful trail, the first climb up going counter-clockwise is tough, but the rest of the hike is smooth sailing.”
“Both are moderate to hard and not so clearly marked in the beginning.”
November 2, 2024... Missed the Foliage 😪 ... We hiked the Tim Torne, Dunderberg Loop started at Jones Point for 7.4 miles.It was an incredible hike... I would do it again, but on a peak time of Foliage, maybe 2nd week of October... I can imagine The Trails would have been so spectacular 😍 ✨️ The Best Trail So Far ...
This was a tough hike from the get go. The first few minutes are flat and breezy, then there's about an hour's worth of vertical climbing. Hiking shoes recommended. On a beautiful Saturday, I encountered a number of other hikers and dogs.
Free parking off rte 202. Walk along highway to trailhead. Good tough hike about 8 miles. Took us 6 hours. Views of Bear 🐻 mountain inn and NYC! Not too many hikers on a Saturday. We went counterclockwise wise.
Great trail to summit both Dunderberg and Bald Mountain in one 7-mile loop hike. You can use the NY State Park app to download Bear Mountain State Park’s map and see how which trails can be used to make this loop—it’s really easy.
Trail conditions & character
“Not an easy trail for sure, quite a bit of elevation, lots of roots and rocks, but nice views of the Hudson River and great colors even on a partly overcast day.”

“From what I can tell, there are two trails ending/starting at this trail head (plenty of parking here, across the road at Jones Point, and down the road).”
