 Upon return, some hikers using this route prefer to either continue south along the Twilight Park Trail to the loop, or remain on the loop (which is often as wet as Pine Plains below it) to the plane wreckage at the loop's southeastern corner and bushwhack from there down to the trail just past Pine Plains in order to save some time and distance.The northern route begins at the parking area along Malden Avenue in Palenville, just off New York State Route 23A.A woods road with the aqua blazes of the Long Path begins just past its end.
