Hi there!

Thank you for visiting the NY/NJ Equinox + Friends fundraising page! I hope you will consider supporting us through a donation or becoming a part of our team.

We'll be meeting on Sunday, October 23rd at 9 AM at Mt. Tammany, Delaware Water Gap. We'll be taking the red dot trail up the mountain, and blue blaze trail on the way down so we can match the mileage of Mt Baldy in CA! *Rain date is Sunday, November 6th at 9 AM. 

The total hike :  

Length: 3.6 miles, about 2.5 hours

Difficulty: Difficult
Elevation Gain: 1243

Mount Tammany is one of the most popular hikes in New Jersey, and for good reason! The trail offers sweeping views of the Delaware Water Gap, without too much of a challenge. The trailhead is also easily accessed, right off of Interstate 80. Although there are several large parking areas, they do fill up quickly on warm weekends. It’s best to arrive early to secure a spot. Wherever you end up parking, it will be a short walk to the trailhead at the Dunfield Creek Natural Area Trailhead. There is a section along the Red Dot Trail that requires scrambling up a steep rocky face. There are views the whole way up the Red Dot Trail. After making it to the summit, continue westward on the Blue Dot Trail. This trail has a more gradual decline, eventually passing a swimming hole with some small waterfalls.
