Congratulations Walkers!

Congratulations to all 26 walkers that took part in the 2nd annual LENAPE34: The Origins Walk on Columbus Day, October 10, 2011. It was a gloriously beautiful day for a long hike through some of the most diverse environments New Jersey has to offer.

We traversed a mind-boggling 4 reservations, 3 public utility access routes, 15 parks and over a dozen towns. It was a 34-mile trek through woods, neighborhoods, and urban settings in the tradition of modern-day explorers. The walk started in Millburn and ended in Newark those that could make it all the way. For others, there was plenty to experience and enjoy in this challenging event. As a testament to how hard this was Jay Leslie's GPS showed 5145 feet of cumulative ascent for the entire length.

The Lenape34 Event

The event is designed specifically so walkers can use mass transportation, particularly NJ Transit, to assist them in getting to the event and back. Also, the event encourages less ambitious walkers to join along the way at various points and complete a part of the walk they are comfortable with. 

Our "tag-team SAG" services were provided by volunteers Risa Olinsky, Amy Hebard and Tom Landes. For carpooling, Risa & Amy shuttled from about 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Tom provided SAG Support (rides, water, snacks, and even his homemade chile!) after 1:00 p.m.

Lenape Trail Overview

The Lenape Trail was first established over 30 years ago by Al Kent, a retired trail coordinator who wanted to connect as many natural resources and points of interest in Essex County as he could, traversing towns, parks, woodlands, and residential areas along the way. Our walk along the trail takes you from the peak of South Mountain to urban Newark. The Lenape Trail is currently going through a revitalization effort largely due to Steve Marano and the NYNJ Trail Conference efforts. Steve also is involved in an effort to finalize the 130-mile Liberty Water Gap Trail across New Jersey.
