This is the Hike of the Week for 7/3/2008 which is in the fee-based archive of the Bergen Record and which has not yet been posted on the
NY-NJ Trail Conference website. So I can't provide a link here. But the hike is very straightforward. It begins
at the Normal Avenue (yes, that's the name) parking lot for the reservation, following the Red trail for the first part of the hike, and then the Blue trail
for the rest of the hike. Total distance covered is just over 2 miles.
