Thursday 9:30 hike Hartshorne Woods

Hartshorne

• Let’s do 5.5-6 miles on the trails at Hartshorne - at a moderate-BRISK pace - goal is to finish in about 2 hours. This hike’s route may vary a bit depending on that day’s conditions. Trails vary from flat to rolling to hilly terrain - a couple of longer, steeper hills. Routes vary from dirt single track to some that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, some open fields and panoramic water views. Also plenty of wildlife, often lots of mushrooms. The trails have a number of areas of uneven terrain, rocks and tree roots, so: Hiking boots/shoes are strongly suggested. Poles and/or traction devices if you think you’ll need them. Things to bring: Water, bug spray, sun protection. We will meet in the Rocky Point parking area at Hartshorne - in front of the Restroom Building. 1402 Portland Road, Highlands, NJ. Please arrive at least a few minutes early: To sign in, gear up, use restroom, meet others, hear safety talk. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack.
