Wednesday 9:30 hike Ramanessin

Ramanessen!

• The plan is to do 5.5-6 miles on the trails at Ramanessen - at a moderate to BRISK(3mph) pace - goal is to finish in approx. 2 hours. This hike comprises trails that tie together three contiguous locations: Holmdel Park, the Ramanessen Tract and Bayonet Farms (where Katherine Hepburn spent much time with her life-long friend, Laura Harding). Expect flat to rolling to hilly terrain - a couple of longer hills. Trails vary from dirt single track to some that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, open fields, stream and pond views. Also plenty of wildlife and flora. The trails have a number of areas of uneven terrain and tree roots, so: Hiking boots/shoes are strongly suggested. Poles if you think you’ll need them. Things to bring: Water, bug spray, sun protection. We will meet in the first parking area at Holmdel Park - in front of the Shelter Building (restrooms) and next to the pond. Please arrive a few minutes early: To sign in, gear up, use restroom, meet others and be ready to hike before hike start. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack.
