New hikers,
whether members or not, are strongly encouraged to select hikes appropriate to
their capabilities. Ramapo Chapter hikes are rated for Pace (A, B or
C)-Mileage (number)-Terrain (A,B or C), with C
designating easier hikes and A more challenging ones. We recommend that
new hikers should first try a C or short B hike before
undertaking a more difficult one; otherwise, you may not fully enjoy the
hiking experience. If you have any doubts, please contact the hike leader in
advance.
If you have any questions about our hikes or
other Ramapo chapter activities, you can send us an e-mail by clicking on
