Event Description

Let us help you get out on a Saturday morning! On the edge of Morristown, this historical park provides a scenic and easy hike for us to enjoy. We will hike an easy trail through forest and past historic recreations of soldier’s huts from the Revolutionary War (winter of 1779-1780). The trail is relatively flat with only small uphill and downhill so it is perfect for beginners.

After our adventure, we will go out to eat for lunch.

Specs:
The hike is classified as easy and should take 2-2.5 hours.
The total length of the hike will be between 4 and 5 miles long and we will walk at an easy pace.
This hike is good for beginners!
As with all hikes you must be in reasonable athletic shape.

Jockey Hollow is a terrific hike any time of the year! We will explore where Washington's army camped during the bitter cold winter of 1779-80 all while getting a good workout. Join me for this exciting event!
