It has been brought to my attention that many of the scouts in our den play soccer or have other commitments on Saturday mornings. With that in mind, the 11 AM start time for our hike has been moved to 12:30 PM. This should give everyone who wants to join our hike an opportunity to go home, change, and pack a lunch and water for our hike.
PLEASE NOTE: The starting point for our hike is NOT the main trail entrance to Mountainside Park (in the parking lot at the top of Mountain Avenue). To find the trail entrance we'll be starting from, drive up Mountain Avenue to the point where it intersects with Rt. 287 and then park anywhere you can find a spot between there and the parking lot at the very top of Mountain Ave. I'll be standing at the trail entrance with my son (see photos for visual of trail location) and we'll assemble on the side of the road where we'll begin our hike at 12:30 PM.
I advise dressing your scout in layers and making sure they wear comfortable hiking shoes or sneakers. I also advise bringing bottled water and a snack or lunch. Other optional items you may want to consider bringing...hiking stick, camera, compass, etc.
