This was the first hot-weather hike of the season. We parked at Reeves Meadow in Harriman and took the Reeves Brook Trail. The area is very busy at the start of the hike, but gets very quiet as soon as you reach the Reeves Brook Trail. We took the Reeves Brook Trail steadily up, until reaching the Seven Hills Trail, which has a steep scramble up to a great view. We then ascended up to Chipmunk Mountain, where there is another great view, and took the HTS Trail down to the Pine Meadow Trail which we took back to the beginning of the trail.
