Where should you hike today? Where is a good swimming hole? Are the Mountain Laurel out in Harriman yet?

Sugarloaf Hill and Osborn Loop Trail
The hike description is primarily for doing the hike from the Castle Rock Unique area parking lot. The only comments about doing it from the train station are in the Train instructions. The instructions there are insufficient for finding your way up to the hike described. You really need to have Map 101 and follow it. The hike description page also has some alternate instructions for doing the hike from the parking lot with fewer turns. Looking at the map should make this clear.
If you read the description of the following hike, http://www.nynjtc.org/hike/arden-point-and-glenclyffe-garrison-ny you will understand better what happens if you start from the train station.
Bottom line: No matter how good the description, having the right map is always better.

rock scrambling with kids
HI I have done a bunch of hikes listed on this site with my kids ages 8-16. They are all now begging for some rock scrambling. Any ideas in driving distance of Northern NJ? Is it worth going to Harriman to do the AT lemon squeeze trail. The entire island pond/lemon squeeze trail http://www.nynjtc.org/hike/island-pondlemon-squeezer-loop is too much for us so i was thinking about just hiking right past the lemon squeeze and turning around about 3.5 miles, round trip. Would it be worth it for that? Please share with me any thoughts, suggestions or ideas thank you so much, jessica
