On the southwest side of the parking lot (right when facing the woods), you will find the red-on-white blazes of the Pine Meadow Trail. Follow the Pine Meadow Trail as it heads southwest, parallel to Seven Lakes Drive. Soon, the trail bears left and heads uphill on a rocky path.

Don't be disappointed by the views
<table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p>The views up Ramapo Torne are very cool--think about all the people who are on the Interstate looking up and thinking it's impossible to get up that mountain. Well, you are there! So, no, it's not gorgeous and untouched by man, but it has its own merits.</p> <p>We did give the try of going up the Torne from the back so that we didn't have to backtrack. It was tough but fun.</p> <p>The split for the Seven Hills Trail is spray-painted onto a rock where it turns.</p> </td> <td><a title="Sloatsburg Tandem Trailer Area From Top Of The Torne by Karen Peterson, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kleepet/2997615398"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3063/2997615398_b106887176_m.jpg" alt="Sloatsburg Tandem Trailer Area From Top Of The Torne" width="240" height="160"></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Shortly after the split, you can look back on the ridge and see this:&nbsp;</p> <p><a title="Ramapo Torne Hiker Sillhouette by Karen Peterson, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kleepet/15509168463"><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8647/15509168463_ed0e25e0dd.jpg" alt="Ramapo Torne Hiker Sillhouette" width="500" height="132"></a></p>

Ramapo Torne
<p>This makes a nice winter hike. Nice views from the Torne and beyond. Trails were well blazed and easy to follow, even with the snow covering some of the blazes. One icy steep spot where microspikes were critical. The last time we tried this hike, we encountered a brush fire, and had to turn around.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Some photos:</p> <p>http://agiletrekker.blogspot.com/2014/03/seven-hillshtsreeves-brook-trail-loop.html</p>

New Harriman-Bear Mountains Maps Available Now!
<p> Thanks for your hike report.  It's good to hear you enjoyed this great hike. </p> <p> There have certainly been several changes on the maps since the 2003 9th edition (we're now up to the 13th edition!).  The new 2010 maps are now available on our online store (<a href="/product/harrimanbear-mountain-trails">click here</a>) and will soon be available at our retail partner stores.  I would certainly suggest getting a copy! </p>
