Welcome to the North Jersey Ramapo Chapter of the Adirondack
Mountain Club (ADK).
Until we completely merge our two chapters, there will be some duplication and inconsistency.
For example, we have two websites.

We sponsor 3 hikes weekly throughout the year in
the scenic and historic Hudson Highlands region of New York and New
Jersey. To see our current quarterly schedule, click the Hikes link

New
hikers, whether members or not, are strongly encouraged to select hikes
appropriate to their capabilities. Ramapo Chapter hikes are rated for
Pace (A, B or C)-Mileage (number)-Terrain (A,B
or C), with C designating
easier hikes and A more challenging ones. We
recommend that new hikers should first try a C or
short B hike before undertaking a more difficult
one; otherwise, you may not fully enjoy the hiking experience. If you
have any doubts, please contact the hike leader in advance.
If
you have any questions about our hikes or other Ramapo chapter
activities, you can send us an e-mail by clicking on
