The Coffee Lovers Hike Sourland Mountain
Details
Overview: We'll be hiking the Devil's Half-Acre, Ridge, and Tributary Trail Loop listed on AllTrails. This trail will basically be hiking along the perimeter of Sourland Mountain.
Start Time: From the parking Lot, I am starting at 9 AM. I have not done this trail before and this will be my first time at this park. AllTrails mentions this trail may take 2h15min so ballpark 3 hours with breaks.
Trail Details: 5.6 mile trail. From the parking lot, we will be taking a right along the Maple Flats Trail (Orange) to the Devil's Half Acre Trail (Yellow) and follow that around through the Devil's Half-Acre Boulders. Then, it will briefly intersect with the Tributary Trail (White) before starting on the Ridge Trail (Red). From there, we will take the Roaring Rocks Trail (Blue) and see the Roaring Rocks Boulders until we take a right onto the Tributary Trail (White) and take that all the way to Maple Flats Trail (Orange), where we take the right path and walk back to the parking lot from there.
This is a rocky trail, please wear sturdy footwear. Some reviews have also mentioned some muddy parts around the pond.
Parking: Sourland Mountain Hiking Trail Hillsborough, 415 E Mountain Rd, Hillsborough Township, NJ 08844 This lot looks sizable but do not know how busy this gets. I will cap this to 10 cars.
Food + Drinks: It is May. Please BYO Hydration + Snacks. Boots are strongly recommended, I will have fluids and liquid IV on me for the group. There is no planned restaurant to get food at the time this event was posted but we can always talk food options when we are there.
Weather: This is an outdoors event and dependent on good weather. This event may be postponed or canceled. I will post on Friday to confirm whether this hike is still on as the weather forecast information is more up-to-date while still giving everyone notice. This group does do other hikes / walks. The morning of, I may change the trail we hike to something shorter if we run the risk of being outside when it rains. In the event of a trail change, we will still start from the same parking lot specified in the event location and comments.
