Scheduled Hikes and Outings

Saturday, March 29 Ramapo Torne Loop

The hike begins at Reeves Meadow Visitor Center (where bathrooms may possibly be open). We’ll take the Pine Meadow trail (red) west to the start of the Seven Hills trail (blue), which climbs southward on smooth ground through open woods, crosses a stream, and then climbs again to an intersection. We will take the Hillburn-Torne-Sebago (orange) over rugged ground to Ramapo Torne, taking a breather at each layer and eating lunch on top. From Ramapo Torne, we’ll bear east to rejoin the Seven Hills, enjoy the scenery from Torne View, and reach the intersection with Reeves Brook trail (white). We’ll take a sharp left onto Reeves Brook and follow it back to the Pine Meadow trail and out to Reeves Meadow Visitor Center.
