This is the Hike of the Week for 2/12/2009 as described on the
Bergen Record website. Note that this link is available at the time of this posting (3/13/09) but will eventually revert to the archive, which is only accessible
for a charge. This hike traverses nearly every trail in the park. The only section not covered is the eastern quarter-mile section of the
orange-blazed Mountain trail which leads to the Long Path.
