Ramapo Mountain Hike – Rocky Mountain and Drag Hill

Dennis — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 13:03:58 +0000

The Ramapo Mountains of northern NJ are a hiker’s paradise, thousands of acres in public hands, crisscrossed with well marked trails, and very close to a population of millions. Most likely you haven’t heard of Rocky Mountain and Drag Hill. I hadn’t either. But the New Jersey 1K Club is trying to change that. From their website:

The New Jersey 1K Club is a fledgling organization that seeks to bring attention to the many hiking opportunities and challenges that the Garden State offers. New Hampshire has the AMC 4000′ers; the Adirondacks has its 46′ers; the Catskills and its 3500 Club. And now . . . New Jersey’s own peakbagging club: the 1K’ers.

Thanks to the NJ 1K Club I do know about Rocky Mountain and Drag Hill. They were the focus of my latest hike, and hopefully the beginning of a trail that will lead to the top of each of NJ’s 53 “peaks” over 1000 feet. To view my hike photos, additional links and information, visit http://sierraactivist.org/photos/ or Flickr.
