We parked the first car at the White Bar Trailhead on Kanawauke Road, to the Carr Pond Mountain view. We then climbed down the valley into the Parker Cabin Hollow, and then back up to the Triangle Trail intersection. We then took the Ramapo Dunderberg Trail up the scramble to the great view on Parker Cabin Mountain. We then took the trail back down the mountain to the Victory Trail back to the trailhead where our other card was parked.
