Doodletown is a special place to me. My parents had started bringing me hiking since I was 2 1/2 years old, and we went to Doodletown and The Timp a lot. Today I took my son and two of his friends on a 7.9 mile hike of Doodletown, West Mountain, The Timp, and back. There are many ways to get to this point, but the way I got here was to park at the recommended parking coordinates, go up Doodletown Road, and stay on it until the yellow SBM trail. After this cache, I continued to the Blue Timp-Torne Trail and went over The Timp, made a left on the Red Dot, then a left to the 1777/Pleasant Valley Road back to the car. In total that took almost 6 hours. It's a moderate to tough hike, but well worth the views once you get to them. While this place in particular isn't spectacular, it's a way to get you into the middle section of this part of Harriman. It's also a good place to take a break. You deserve it! At this point we had gone 1.74 miles and it took us 53 minutes.
This cache has the New York State permit 16-003.
Congrats to youngmike927 on FTF!
