Harriman Hikers regular Sunday Hike on April 4, 2010 took us into Norvin Green State Forest, NJ, with its many overlook views of Monksville Reservoir. The image below was used as a header photo for the Harriman Hikers website during Spring 2010.

It’s late September and the leaves are just starting to change here in north New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley in New York State. Fall officially began on Monday, September 22, 2008, at 11:44:16 EDT (15:44:16 UCT) and in a matter of weeks going forward, the foliage in our part of the country will peak to its show of brilliant Autumn colors everywhere, before the Winter fallow period begins shortly afterward. A little like people on Saturday night! 
Notice how the bright Fall colors are still mixed with the remaining lush Summer greenery. Interesting time of year, no?
This post also serves to highlight the fact that while Harriman Hikers most frequently hikes its namesake, Harriman State Park, NY, we also hike in other wilderness parks and reserves / preserves in the area, such as Ramapo Reservation, a Bergen County Park, located a short distance from our weekly meetup at Ramapo College of New Jersey in Mahwah, NJ.

Yes, its March and it may be just a little early to actually go swimming, but came across this on the web:
Swimming Holes in New York State
from NJ Trails Plan:
“The New Jersey Trails Plan Update will address and analyze key issues related to trails development and the State Trails System, establish a vision for New Jersey’s trails, and recommend strategies and actions required to move toward that vision. The visioning process will involve educating the public, obtaining feedback and synthesizing the results in order to define an optimal approach for the future development and maintenance of a comprehensive system of trails in New Jersey. A strategic plan, which will serve as blueprint for establishing and maintaining a trails system throughout the state, will be developed with a 3-5 year Action Plan and a 20-year Visioning Horizon.”

Wawayanda, New Jersey NJ, profile (Sussex County) – hotels, festivals, genealogy, newspapers – ePodunk: “WAWAYANDA COMMUNITY PROFILE
New Jersey > All counties > Sussex County > Wawayanda
Wawayanda is in Sussex County, in the New York metro area. The community is in the Eastern Standard time zone.”
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.”

This a photo of an old iron mining facility in Sterling Forest undergoing restoration.
We visited this site on a hike Fall 2005, when this photo was made, but Sterling Forest is along one of our regular traverses during the hike year and and we sometimes pass this this spot several times a year.
