“Nordkop Mountain is located near Southwest end of Suffern - Bear Mountain trail (yellow markers). It offers excellent views of Suffern, nearby hills and highways. The trailhead is located on Orange Ave (Rt. 59) and can be reached by a car, Metro-North train (10 min walk from Suffern station) or Shortline Bus (5 min walk from a commuter lot parking). There is no trailhead parking, but plenty of commuter parking lots within a short walk. The climb is moderate-to-strenuous, less than a mile, with about 500 feet ascent, and can be completed in 1-2 hours. No special training or equipment is necessary. The top of the mountain is exposed rock, it’s not recommended to hike there during strong winds or thunderstorms. Also rain, snow or fallen leaves provide an added difficulty due to a slippery rocks. Suffern - Bear Mountain trail doesn’t meet another trail for more than 4 miles, meaning there is no option for a loop hike, only out and back. The entire SBM trail is about 25 miles and technically can be done in a long day, but it’ll be a strenuous hike. There are a few options for overnight hikes, with closest shelter (Stone Memorial) only 5 miles from the trailhead. Detailed and inexpensive trail maps can be obtained from New York New Jersey Trail Conference - local hiking organization. Do a search for “NYNJCT Harriman””
