Difficulty: Moderate with rock scrambles
Length: 5.5 miles
Vertical Ascent: 550 ft

This hike is in the rugged Bearfort Mountain and takes us to picturesque Terrace Pond. There is some rock scrambling in the first half of the hike. After reaching Terrance Pond, the remainder of the hike is moderate. We will hike the trails clockwise. We will be taking the newly reopened Terrace Pond Circular Trail that now has a floating pontoon bridge to get over the wet and often flooded north end of the trail. The pontoon bridge is a remarkable feat of engineering that required parts to be brought in by helicopter.

Guideline:
Less than 200 ft: Easy
200 to 600 ft: Easy/Moderate
600 to 1000 ft: Moderate
1,000 to 1,400 ft: Moderate/Strenuous
1,400 to 2,000 ft: Strenuous
Over 2,000 ft: Very Strenuous

1,050 ft is one climb up to top observation deck of the Empire State Building. Other factors such as rock scrambles, steep inclines, and rocky terrain increase difficulty.
