Very advanced planning for section hike next year.
From Pine Grove/Swatara Gap, PA to Bear Mountain, NY.
Looking for options (shuttle vs bus) from Bear Mountain to Newark Airport.
- Where does bus stop nearest Bear Mountain?

I believe right there at the BM Inn. Change for bus or train to Newark in the city.

I only did this once each way. I took a Coach USA bus between Bear Mt Inn and Grand Central or Port Authority in Manhattan. From Manhattan I went by train to Newark AP/NJ down the North Jersey Coastline on NJ Transit to/from Pt Pleasant (when I lived in Monmouth and Ocean Co NJ). It was a few yrs ago. I've hitched to/from Peeksill NY and taken the train into/from Grand Central on two other AT hikes. Hitching/walking to Peekskill is not recommended. Could also extend the hike by going in/out from Pawling NY train Station.

Be sure to keep your NJT ticket when arriving at the airport, as you MUST have it to ride the AirTran between the rail station and airport!
