Torne Mountain stand overlooking the Lower Hudson Valley, with a perfect view of the gleaming skyscape of New York City.
Ramapo River Watershed Keeper Geoff Welch will give a slide presentation on Torn Mountain on Sunday, January 19, at 1 p.m. at the Lautenberg Visitors Center at Sterling Forest State Park.
The most majestic peak in the Ramapo Mountains, Torne Mountain’s scenic beauty was depicted by several leading artists of the Hudson River School back in yonder years when the Western Ramapo was sparsely settled.
The Torne, and its cliff edged terraces descending towards the Ramapo River, is now almost completely protected by inclusion in Harriman State Park, with its rich biodiversity. You’ll even see black bears ambling across hikers’ paths, stopping to shake a shaggy head.
Join Ramapo River Watershed Keeper, Geoff Welch, for a Sunday afternoon presentation slideshow as he tells the tale of Torne through images.
