This is the Hike of the Week for 10/22/2004 as described on the
NY-NJ Trail Conference website with one change: instead of following that hike exactly as described (1.2 miles in 1 hour), we expanded the circuit hike
to include the entire Orange trail and then a return to the car along the White trail. Total distance was about 2.3 miles in just over 90 minutes.
A nice map of the park can be found here.
