This 5-mile out-and-back hike is the first half of hike #25 ("Board Mountain Through Hike") from the book
Hiking the Jersey Highlands (1st edition).
The hike described in that book requires two cars. With one car, the hike can be broken into two halves. Doing so requires doing the
given half twice (out and back).
