First Hike April 8th - Mt Tammany

Our first hike! If interested in participating please contact Jeff Carlson (JC1372) by April 1st.   Please provide him with your mobile # and the best email address to communicate with. If inclement weather is expected we'll decide to postpone by Wednesday, April 5th. ***** At 9:00 AM on April 8th, we'll head out to the Delaware Water Gap and hike up Mt. Tammany.  This is a short hike in mileage, but does put some strain on the body with sharp elevation gain.  The payoff is well worth it though. Difficulty - Challenging (due to grade)  Length - 3.7 Miles Elevation Gain - 1250 ft Expected Duration - 2-4 Hours Park Trail Map Our Route Parking Location - Dunnfield Parking off Route 80, just before River Road and 8/10 of a mile before the bridge.  Great diagram from njhiking.com.  See Note Below*. What to Expect This is a relatively short hike but very challenging from the first step as you climb to the main vista point.  It's 1250 ft over 1.5 miles, so
