Anonymous Unregistered




(208.253.155.193) 		Question re: day-hiking from the Metro North Appalachian trail stop -- taking Metro North from NYC to the Trail in the morning, hiking out for a few hours, hiking back for a few hours, then returning via Metro North to the City. Going south/west heads toward Nuclear Lake. Going north/east heads through the Pawling Nature Reserve. Just wondering if someone can compare the two -- which is more scenic, relative difficulty, etc.? Any preferences?
Much obliged.

both are worth it, heading north takes you first through cow pastures then into the woods.
south takes you through a swamp with overactive beavers before heading into the woods.
south seems to have more altitude gain and views though i only hiked in either direction for 3 hours or so before heading back to the train.
hope this helps.
