From Route 28 in Arkville take Dry Brook Road toward Mapledale. There are other possibilities but this may be the easiest the first time. Continue on Dry Brook Road until the hamlet of Mapledale. Turn left on Todd Mountain Road. Bear to the left when Baker Road goes slightly right. Pass over the bridge and take the next right. This road is not marked but is Rider Hollow Road. If you need to ask for directions, mention the Hardenburgh Town Hall! Continue on this road as it narrows and becomes a dirt road. Park in the parking area at the end. You cannot hike a direct line to Hiram's Knob as there is private property to skirt. Head southwest and start up the ridge before turning west for a go at the mountain. It may be easier to hike up to the ridge and then head over to the summit. After reaching the highest point, retrace your route to the car.
