Join Laura Battelani, CMC Board Member and volunteer for the NYNJ Trail conference as she maintains her adopted trails for the fall season. We will drive to the Hill Road Trailhead, inspecting the trail, climb approximately 1500′ gradually, then inspection and clearing on Dry Brook Ridge. We’ll hike the Pakatakan Mountain southward, passing a 700-year-old bog and arrive at a beautiful lookout of the Pepacton Reservoir.
