Non-members are cordially invited to join us on two hikes before making a decision to become a member (but we request you contact the hike leader beforehand).
New hikers, whether members or not, are strongly encouraged to select hikes appropriate to their capabilities. North Jersey 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.
