WHAT: Good for families with children 6 and older. We will walk off the paved pathway and discover a less traveled way to get to this most popular destination. In part we will use an abandoned woods road not much trod since local residents used it in the 1800's. Easy to moderate pace. Leader: Dave Hogenauer 973-762-1475 (day of hike: 973-901-0824).
