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 other wildlife. Eh, but even if you we don't spot some furry critters there will be panoramic views 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.
