Bald Rocks (Ramapo-Dunderberg Trail).

Massive local granite stones make up his walls, with a nice fireplace inside and a fire pit outside. The surrounding area is grassy with trees close enough to allow hammocking, but not too tight to make you feel like you’re in the woods. It’s because you’ve hiked to one of Harriman highest points. A lovely grassy field on top of a hill surrounds us with great views, too! The trails you’ll use to get to Bald Rocks are some of the best in the park. Bowling Rocks, Ship Rock and the spine of Hogencamp Mountain are close by as well.
It's an easy hike along the lake side on the Long Path trail heading in a westbound direction until we meet the yellow Dunning trail. From here it's a sharp left continuing in a westerly direction we'll find the Hogencap Mine. Then head along the trail south, slowly progressing west, eventually this leads us in a northerly direction along the trail, it's a bit of a climb but nothing that will wind you for you have reached the summit of Bowling Rock a pause for a drink and pics as the views are awesome; the climb would have been worth it.
Not far up from this point should be the Red Ramapo-Dunderberg trail where we'll take a left/southerly direction and we'll find the Bald Rocks shelter/lean-to.
This is where we will break for a quick snack/lunch.

The views from up here are nothing short of breathtaking from the surrounding views you can see the beauty of Harriman State Park. We’ll hang here for a few have a bite before heading back down to the lake side parking lot. Total hike approx. 5 miles. Pack your favorite snacks and minimum 2 liters of water.
