Event Description

Often as the day turns into night the animals come out! For that reason this hike will start late in the day and end at dusk. While traveling along we will be on the look-out for deer, wild turkeys, and maybe even some fawn (awwwwww). Eh, but even if you we don't spot some furry critters there will be "panoramic view[s] over Paterson, Bergen County and the New York City skyline." So join us for this hike that will begin when the sun is low in the sky and end just before dark.

Specs:
The hike is classified as easy to moderate and is about 2.2 miles long.
The hike should take 1.5-2 hours.
As with all hikes you must be in good, athletic shape.


RSVP (to the right) and we will let you know when tix are almost gone, when prices are going up, if there are any changes, etc.

Member Cost:
$5 for the first 10 to buy a ticket
$10 for the next 11-25 to buy a ticket
$20 at the door (so please register online)

Non-Member Cost:
$20 online and at the door

Tickets:
There are a limited number of Tickets for sale.
Tickets are not mailed, but your name will be kept at the door.
Actual hike is subject to change depending on weather conditions, fallen trees, etc. All sales are final.

Sweeper:
If the group is large we are going to look for 2 volunteers to act as sweepers. Sweepers will walk at the end of the hike line and will make sure the group stays together.

Hike Leader:
Noah will be leading this hike.

Hiking boots or sneakers
Water (required).
Snacks, a light dinner, etc.

Take Interstate Route 80 west to Exit 56 (Squirrelwood Road, West Paterson ). Turn left at the bottom of the ramp onto Squirrelwood Road. (If you are coming from the west, take Exit 56A and proceed south on Squirrelwood Road.) Continue south along Squirrelwood Road for 1.3 miles (after 0.5 mile, the road changes its name to Rifle Camp Road), and turn left into Rifle Camp Park.

Everyone,

Please do not park at the end of the circle by the Nature Center as the directions indicate. We will not be starting the hike from here! Instead, make the first RIGHT turn into the big parking lot which is a short drive in from the entrance of the park.

See you guys soon!

I apologize for not attending this hike. Due to my excitement for having 2 hikes in August canceled due to rain. I have already signed up for the Game Night.

Although, I am looking forward to many hikes to come.

Hey everyone, I can't wait to lead this hike! We'll get to witness one of my personal favorite views of NYC skyline and we should be able to come in close contact with the many deer that populate this area. In addition, as with every hike, this will be an excellent opportunity for all newbies to socialize with other NJYP folks. Let's hope for great weather!
