This is a really nice ride, agree with jdoggi's comment about taking Seven Lakes Drive through Harriman Park. Also, at the northern loop of this ride, you might as well continue north to West Point itself and check it out.

This is a great ride, I have done this ride several times a year for the last 4 years. It's a great day out with your biker family.

Nice alternate is to take Route 17 to Seven Lakes Drive and ride through Harriman Park. Real nice ride. Also, stop at Rhodes Tavern in Sloatsburg, NY. Good fun

Another way to reach Bear Mtn area is via 9W. Beautiful winding road along the Palisades Pkwy but without the traffic.
