Kick off the summer at sunset with this Happy Hour Hike!  Our twilight hike is a rare breed – we almost never do hikes on weekdays.  Plus, If you’ve been dying to try a hike, but weren’t sure of your level, this is a perfect place to start.  Clocking in at 2 hours with a 1.5 difficulty ranking, this is a perfect trek for beginners.  Afterwards, wind down at a local pub for dinner and drinks with the other hikers.  What better way to welcome the season than with fresh air and great company.

What to bring:
Hiking boots are strongly recommended and 2 liters of water is required. Hiking boots will help keep the mud out of your feet when hiking as the trail may have a few wet spots. Bug spray is also recommended!

Heavy precipitation and/or high temps will cancel this hike. Please check your inbox for updates and the NJYP.org calendar. Tickets will be refunded.

Directions:
Take 287 North or South to exit 30A. Follow North Maple Ave (it will become South Maple Ave) for approx 2.4 -2.6 miles and make a left onto Lord Stirling Rd. Follow that for about 1 mile and the park will be on the left.

Do not use the entrance on South Maple Ave, as those are only the stables.
