Half Day Hikes Overview

Half day hikes are perfect for those who are looking for a shorter day to enjoy the beautiful views and trails that New Jersey has to offer. Half day hikes range from two to six miles with elevation gain from a few hundred feet to over one thousand feet of elevation gain. These hikes are open to anyone with a desire to be out in nature, and can range from relaxing to more strenuous.

Things to Look for on your hike

While we cannot guarantee anything on trail, some things to look for while hiking are:

• Mountain views and waterfalls 

• Wildlife

  • Deer, Birds, Snakes, Squirrels, and even bears!

• View of New York City

What you need to bring on your hike

• Hiking boots, while preferred, can be substituted for shoes.  Just don't wear shoes you don't mind getting a little dirty!

• Rain Jacket.  As long as there is no lightning the hike will continue as planned.

• Water.  2 liters is recommended, which is the equivalent to 4 normal water bottles

• Any medications that you may need to take

• Sunglasses

• A backpack to carry everything

• Good hiking attitude!

Logistics

Your guide will connect with you the day before and establish a meeting time, which will involve you getting on the PATH to New Jersey.  Your guide will pick you up from the Hoboken path station and drive you anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes to the trailhead.  From there, the hikes can last from 2-4 hours.  The guide will then drop you back off at the PATH station.  Half day hikes typically get back to the path around 2-3 o'clock.
