Description
Though this trail is shown on the map as Pine Mountain Trail, there isn't any signage (on location) to confirm this. This trail heads west off the Taconic Skyline Trail, near the Tilden Swamp View Spur. It follows a doubletrack, then narrows to a singletrack as it rises to the Taconic Crest Trail.
