Worth to go...nice view (if you can get on top of the trail). Hiked Bear Mountain in autumn of 2004, amazing view.
Can't make it :(

I try to post some pics. But it always said my filesize is bigger than the maximum for jpg. Andy, what should I do?

What I do is to upload the pics on imageshack.us and link it here

I have just several pictures.
On the picture you can see Hessian Lake, I do not know whether it is anything to do with Newton’s method. :)
If somebody posts more pictures you will see Hudson River and a view from top of the Bear Mountain.
The hike was awesome!
