This hike follows the yellow-blazed Vista Loop Trail, blazed in the summer of 2016 by volunteers of the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. Incorporating portions of existing trails, as well as several newly blazed sections, this trail has been designed to enable the hiker to visit three panoramic viewpoints, as well as other scenic features of the Ramapo Reservation.

Great hike for any age level
We went on the Vista Loop hike in 05/2020. The hike was very well marked (yellow blazes), takes you to multiple outlooks, towards the reservoir waterfall, and the forest waterfall. We had age ranges from 7 to 60 and everyone enjoyed it. It took us about 3 hours from when we entered the parking lot to when we left.
