Final Hiking Plans

I'm going to move this to Sunday at 10AM to ensure better weather.


Please e-mail me so that we can get a head count.



Directions: Elm Road becomes the Great Rd and the county rd 601. In about 8 miles you cross two RR crossings. After those turn left on E. Mountain Ave. In about 1/4 mile you'll see a sign for the countypark...Sourland Mt. Preserve.


Bring water, and a trail lunch, ankle supporting shoes or hiking boots, be prepared to listen at times and enjoy. I repeat, this is not mandatory.

Extra credit Hike

The Extra Credit hike scheduled for friday has been postponed until sunday. Additional information regarding this opportunity will be posted.
