Welcome
to the North Jersey Ramapo Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK).
- hikes
along hundreds of miles of trails ranging from the Ramapo/Wyanokie hills of
Bergen/Passaic Counties up to the Shawangunks and Catskills, with our base in
Bear Mountain/Harriman State Park in Rockland/Orange Counties
We sponsor three
hikes weekly throughout the year in the scenic and historic Hudson Highlands
region of New York and New Jersey. To see our current quarterly schedule, click
the Hikes link below. Note that the schedules and newsletters require a pdf
reader to view. You can get a free one at

The annual memorial hike will be on Saturday July 31, 2010.
This hike is to honor the memory of those NJR hikers who are no longer with us.
Dean Gletsos will lead the hike, standing in for Aaron, who will be away on that day.

Non-members are cordially invited
to join us on 2 hikes before making a decision to become a member (but we
request you contact the hike leader beforehand). The Ramapo Chapter offers:

educational speakers and an annual holiday party social

such as day outings to the Mohonk Mountain House and a fall or winter
weekend

Mountains in New Hampshire and Maine
- the opportunity to contribute to the
preservation and extension of hiking lands and viewsheds in our region (see the

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.
