I dread the section between Rt 303 and Stoney Point- just too much traffic in haverstraw etc. Anyone have alternitive route suggestions to get to Bear MTN?
BTW - the section around Piermont and Upper Gradview are no walk in the park either when it comes to traffic.

"Look in the ride library under Bergen/Rockland and get the cue sheet for ""Garrison through Haverstraw"". It has the detour through the village of Haverstraw on side roads so you can skip the ugly stretch of 9W through the strip malls."

There are few altenatives
I find the route through Haverstraw and West Haverstraw more of a nuisance than 9W, so I just grin and bear the traffic.
For a complete utter detour, you can go up 9W to the north entrance of Rockland Lake.
Make a Left onto Lake Street, also Rockland County route 80
Make a right onto Rockland county route 33. **
Follow this to County route 106, and make a Right
Take this to 9W in Stony Point. Make a Left to continue North to Bear Mountain.
** County Route 33 will take you over Little Tor (not a small hill
