From Social Anytimers

4.8

Hi everyone! Let's enjoy a nice post-Halloween hike! Join us for a 4.75 mile hike in the South Mountain Reservation. As always, we will go at a moderate pace and won’t leave anyone behind. But please be considerate of others if you don't think you will be able to hike at a moderate pace for the duration. We will meet in the parking lot near the dog run on Bear Lane (off of Crest Drive). Our hike will start and end at the highest points in the reservation where we will able to experience some really nice views. We will also hike down to the Rahway River and go past the waterfalls! Please arrive about 10 minutes before the start time. After the hike, for those who want to, we will grab a coffee or some food at a local diner/deli/coffee shop. We will pick the exact place based on group size and preference. For the hike, I strongly recommend hiking shoes (or boots) and, of course, water. Bug spray, poles, and other equipment are optional. Also, please no dogs on this hike. **Hiking Disclaimer:** Please note that this is not a professionally guided group, nor am I providing a service. This is just a social event.

We plan to stay together as a group, but everyone needs to be a self-sufficient hiker with adequate skills, equipment, and contingency plans to hike alone with a map or offline-GPS app (and the knowledge to use them) just in case. * **If you are not comfortable hiking** **self-sufficiently** **or are not experienced enough to judge the skill and physical requirements in the route description**, check out the [Appalachian Mountain Club’s](https://www.outdoors.org/) hikes or one of the many professional guides operating in the area. \*\*\* **Standard day-hiking gear:** * Hiking footwear (boots or trail shoes), non-cotton clothing, sunscreen, bug spray, sunhat, sunglasses. ([Permethrin insecticide](https://amzn.to/3XNcflS) treatment against ticks is great.) * Warm layers, including a winter hat and gloves in colder weather. Rain gear and an extra warm layer just in case. * Lunch, Snacks, and 2nd breakfast. 2 liters/ 2 quarts of water minimum, 3 liters for a hot day. Electrolytes for hot days, hot drinks for cold days. * **GPS app with offline maps** & battery pack: **Avenza Maps App** is free and there is a [free Harriman map in the in-app store](https://store.avenza.com/products/harriman-state-park-trail-map-new-york-state-parks-map?queryID=undefined&objectID=36438857941148). **CalTopo** ($20/yr) is an excellent general purpose GPS program. **Mapy** **App** has basic offline trail maps that are adequate. * **Map & Compass**: [NYNJTC Harriman-Bear Mountain Trails](https://amzn.to/422cHxd) or [National Geographic Harriman](https://amzn.to/3MOsk7d) *** **General FAQ:** * No dogs allowed, sorry * No guests beyond the RSVP guest limit and no one under 18 allowed * Hikes are generally rescheduled for thunderstorms, heat index >95f, or AQI >80 \*\*\* **Route Info:** * **The Stats:** About 8-9 miles, depending on conditions, with 1.1k' elevation gain at a moving pace of 2 mph. * **Track:** [Sebago-Skemonto-Claudius Loop](https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=13.3/-74.1436/41.2006&pubLink=KhOL136qZzAYzSiYYCKkgmTW&routeId=ca062906-b224-44a4-8297-1af5195af48e) (If you use AllTrails, you'll have to find a matching route or routes yourself.) * **For Your Contingency Planning:** Shorter routes and bailout points are available. Cell service is generally available but can be spotty. In terms of a navigation & route finding, these are Blazed Trails. \*\*\* **Logistics:** * **Meeting Location:** Meet at 10:30am at the Tuxedo commuter parking lot off East Village Road ([Google Maps](https://goo.gl/maps/aoABudbFJkjAKF926)).
