Traffic
Today (Sat 10.18) we attempted to drive to Bear Mountain to hike but instead were stuck for two hours in traffic approaching Bear Mountain. Exit 19 off the Palisades was closed. When we reached the traffic circle we took the opportunity to head back to NYC, for a total of 4 hours sitting in the car. Does anyone know what the problem was? We saw no sign of an accident or law enforcement. Perhaps it is just a bad idea to drive to Bear Mountain? Thanks for any information.
