Green Loop is an easy hike of about a mile through the Town of Somers, on city land in New York. It rises from roughly 395 feet to about 532 feet, so the total elevation gain is about 117 feet, and the route is rated easy. The climb is a point-to-point path rather than a loop, and it is not open to bikes. The most comfortable months for a walk here are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run about 70°F for highs in May and 74°F in September, with July peaking near 83°F. The hike takes about half an hour. Within a mile you'll find the White Trail and the Yellow Loop, and the Blue Trail is close by as well. Climbers can head to Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, about 7 miles away.
