Tuxedo-Mount Ivy Trailhead (T-MI) — Attraction in Town of Ramapo

This review is for Tuxedo-Mt. Ivy/Suffern-Bear Mt./Pine Meadow Trail loop on AllTrails (Eagle Rock/Panther/Catamount mountains) in Harriman State Park. It’s is marked as “hard” on AllTrails. It ain’t easy at all, don’t get me wrong but in all honesty I couldn’t give it a rating of “hard” difficulty considering some other trails and routes we got north of Harriman State Park. I wish there were more gradation options. I’d give it “moderate+”. Otherwise, the trail is quite “unremarkable”, besides the fact that I saw a fiery UFO (see pic ). No one tried to prove my you-know-what, I survived the encounter. There are barely any views, no scrambling, just some more mild terrain mixed with some rocky terrain. Some steep ascents and descents but they’re not too long. There’s a steady upward grind right up front. Not too steep but just dang steady. It’ll get ya blood pumpin’n’thumpin’ and your lungs huffin’n’puffin so you’ll get your workout. Make sure to follow the map or downloaded map. There are lots of junctions with other legit trails and it’s easy to get off. I sure did a few times. Thanks to AllTrails I didn’t get off for long neither of the instances. Also, there’s a conflict regarding elevation gain. My Garmin shows over 1500 ft while AllTrails shows only slightly over 1K. My butt hunch tells me Garmin is closer to the truth, just based on feel. Doing it almost not sleep this week and on very little time that I had left before dark kicked my behind pretty darn good...

A good parking lot to access Harriman State Park's southeastern trails along the ridge line. Gravel lot can be difficult for cars in poor weather. No water/bathroom.

The pin's location has been updated to better reflect where the parking lot is: next to the ConEd O&R Battery Storage Site.

Careful with the various "woods roads" within Harriman, as there are many and are not all fully/accurately marked on the map. You'll...

The "Tuxedo - Mt. Ivy Trail Trailhead" label point right in the middle of the electrical sub-station. The Trail Head and the parking lot is in fact about 100-150 yards before where the label is pointing, on the right on Diltz Rd coming from Mountain Rd. Use the coordinates 41.185142, -74.073979 to get the...
