MyEO: Mt. Tammany Hike

September 9, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am

Hey EONJ! Here’s another MyEO Event you’re not going to want to miss! Time to get your hike on!  Join your MyEO Champion, Curt Bashford, and your fellow EO’ers (guests too!) for an exhilarating hike up Mt Tammany at the Delaware Water Gap, “Ranked Among The Most Beautiful In America”

 

You have seen it from I-80, that big steep mountain on your right as you approach the gap.  But have you been to the top?  Come see why Mount Tammany is one of the best hiking trails in New Jersey.

Mount Tammany is located in Worthington State Forest, along the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.  Expect sweeping mountain and river landscapes atop Mount Tammany’s 1,526′ peak. You’ll be looking straight across to Pennsylvania!

What to expect:  Our hike is a popular but challenging 3.6-mile loop on the red and blue dot trails that ends with wooden foot bridges over flowing creeks, a rushing cascade and a brief stint on the Appalachian Trail (AT).  Spectacular in every season, this hike is steep but manageable.  It is rated as hard but the reward is definitely worth the effort. It will come as no surprise that USA Today named this one of the 20 most awe inspiring hikes in America.

The 1.1-mile, 1200 ft of elevation gain hike to the top is steep and we will all be huffing and puffing but we will go slow and the views at the top are worth it.  The 2.5-mile hike down sweeps around the back and is less steep but very rocky.  Decent footwear and water bottle are a must.
