Event Description

Located on the edge of suburbia, the Sourland Mountain Preserve is a great way to enjoy connecting with the outdoors without having to travel long distances. We will enjoy a 5 mile hike through pristine woods and rocky hillsides. We'll also pass by the Roaring Brook area which was recently opened up to public use thanks to the 3M corporation. After we have our fill of the fresh air the group will head out for drinks and a late lunch (totally optional but always fun).

ALSO!
Since it is Father's Day all ticketed guests may bring their father for fre*! Or if you are a father you can bring your kids for fre*. Of course this is assuming all guests can handle the hike.

If anyone is intimidated by the name "Sourland Mountain", be assured, it is more like "Sourland Smallish Hill"
