[**8:30 am**] Terrace Pond Loop 5+ miles

DESCRIPTION: This is a moderate, very scenic (and popular) hike in the heart of the NJ Highlands area. About 600 ft total elevation gain but includes some interesting yet easy rock scrambles. A "fan favorite".

Let's meet at Route 23 Park & Ride at 8:30 am, and carpool to Terrace Pond trailhead.

Bring plenty of water and snacks, and appropriate seasonal items (sun- and insect-protection in summer, and crampons in winter). Day-of-hike-only phone: 973-704-7362.
