[**Monday / MLK Day**] Cushetunk Mountain Loop (6+ MIles)
Details
Finally, we return to a Central New Jersey trail! This is a moderate 6-mile long trail in Cushetunk Mountain Nature Preserve on the shores of Round Valley Reservoir that has steep climbs both at the beginning and the end for an elevation gain of 1,100 feet. Part of the trail runs along the Northeastern shore of the Reservation. Not recommended for beginners.
Bring plenty of water and snacks, and appropriate seasonal items (sun- and insect-protection in summer, and crampons in winter). Day-of-hike-only phone: 908-442-9318 (John I).
**Note** We hike at a moderate pace, and never leave anyone behind. Our hikes are not suitable for fast hikers who like to forge ahead of the group.
