Moderate Come explore a beautiful trail system. Moderate paced hike on the Delaware Township White Oak Trail, the Lockatong Creek Trail, Ralph Peters' Trail, and back. We'll walk along the beautiful Lockatong Creek, through woods and fields for about 8 to 9 miles. One steep hill, about 180'. One short section of road walking. Bring snacks, water and lunch. Meet at 10:00 a.m. by the Visitor's Center at Bull's Island State Park. Steady rain cancels. If doubtful, check the status of the hike at amcdv.org/AMCCalendar.php the morning of the hike or contact Leader before 8:00 am. Fifty years ago a remarkable woman, Ruby Horwood, was a trailblazer for the AMC-DV Chapter. She was a DV Chapter Chair and a few years later became the first female President of AMC (clubwide). In addition to many other achievements, she was deeply involved in protecting land that is now our beloved Delaware Water Gap NRA and Franconia Notch in the White Mountains. In the coming months, the Delaware Valley Chapter will be honoring Ruby at select outings with Ruby 'moments' - a brief discussion of her contributions. We hope you will join us to honor her accomplishments and celebrate 50 years of women trailblazers.
