The ground was still covered with several inches of snow, and we took the opportunity to go on a relatively short hike with great views. We parked off Route 6 on the Long Mountain Trailhead parking area, and took the Long Path to the top of Long Mountain. Long Mountain offers great views of Bear Mountain and the north, as well Turkey Hill Pond. It is especially aesthetic in the snow. We then descending along the mountain on the northern flank of the Long Path, and then took the Deep Hollow path back to the Long Path and back to our car.
