Digital App Hike Planning 1 is the prerequisite to this follow-up course, Digital App Hike Planning 2, which introduces new skills and reinforces what we learned in the first course. Skills are conveyed with a 3-hour hands-on exercise where we plan a backpacking trip from start to finish utilizing multiple apps for what each one does best.

Planning our virtual adventure will take us down a road where we will research places for a 5-day backpacking trip, choose our trailhead(s), investigate parking opportunities, research available daylight and weather constraints, plan our route with appropriate daily hikes based on elevation and terrain, choose primary and backup water sources and campsites, analyze risk and plan for bailout routes, identify our catching and collecting features to confirm navigation choices while in the field, and plan for emergencies. We'll discuss what food we'll carry and how much water, our cooking system, shelter system, and sleep system based on our route and conditions. Although CalTopo is our primary planning app, we will utilize other apps such as Avenza, AllTrails, PeakFinder, Google Maps, and internet searches to thoroughly plan an exciting fun trip that leaves no stone unturned and sets us up for success even if a low probability emergency should occur.

Minimum Age: 12 years old - the minor(s) and a parent/guardian must all be paid registered participants.

Mount Tammany needs no introduction, but we'll give it one anyway! It stands at an impressive 1,526' tall, forms the eastern side of the Delaware Water Gap, and is a bucket list hike since some consider it, mile for mile, the most difficult hike in NJ. While not everyone agrees on that point, it is certainly a challenging fun hike!

Mount Tammany is in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, but we hike through Worthington State Forest to get there and return. It is a 3.5-mile loop hike with about 1,250’ of elevation up and down. It's a challenging hike due to its rocky terrain and elevation gain, but we'll take it at a moderate pace and enjoy the incredible views along the way.

After making our way through the lowland woods near the Dunnfield Creek, we'll start our rocky and constant ascent. After about 1/2 mile and 400' of climbing we'll reach our first views overlooking the Delaware River and Mount Minsi on the other side in PA which makes up the other side of the Delaware Water Gap. After a quick break, we'll continue upwards on our rocky but well-defined trail, navigating step-ups and switchbacks until we reach the views higher up and the ridge. We'll hike along the ridge with scattered views until we loop back along a steep and rocky trail down, passing a waterfall and interesting scenery until we arrive back at the base of the mountain.

The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.
