Christmas Day 10am hike Hartshorne Park

Hartshorne

• Let’s do about 6 miles on the HILLY trails at Hartshorne Woods - mostly at a BRISK (3mph - 20 minutes a mile) pace - goal is to finish about 6 miles in 2 hours. Please know your abilities - you are able to stay with the pack - within sight of the leader. This hike’s route may vary a bit depending on trail conditions. And we will follow an unusual route sequence. Trails vary from rolling to hilly terrain - a couple of longer, steeper hills - dirt single track to sections that allow side-by-side hiking. Plenty of woods, some open fields and panoramic water views. Also plenty of wildlife. 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, layered clothing. We will meet in the Rocky Point parking area at Hartshorne - near the Restroom Building. 1402 Portland Road, Highlands, NJ. Please arrive at least a few to 15 minutes early: To sign in, gear up, use restroom, meet others, etc. I’ll be next to my White Subaru Crosstrek, with black roof and kayak rack.
