Who is Raymond H. Torrey?
Raymond H. Torrey is, for all and intents and purposes, the “Father of Harriman State Park”:
“He was a New York newspaperman, was a prolific writer, tireless trailblazer, exuberant hiker, unyielding conservationist, volunteer organizer, political lobbyist and diplomat. It was Torrey’s genius for organization that put the first miles of the Appalachian Trail on the ground, converting Benton MacKaye’s “crackpot” dream into a walker’s reality. Nearly forgotten today except within his home territory of New York and New Jersey, he was the archetypal volunteer organizer and trail builder.”

New Jersey’s Appalachian Trail – Wawayanda State Park
New Jersey’s Appalachian Trail – Wawayanda State Park: “I found the Wawayanda Mtn a steep climb up; however, the path has many swaybacks to reduce the climb rate. The lowest section was entered over a small fallowed field. At the very bottom of the mountain, large sections of the upper cliff face, the size of cars, had fallen to the bottom. The feeling of walking through these large chucks of debris rocks is surely strange feeling particularly for NJ.”
