At least 40 hikes, which range from beginner to advance levels, are scheduled for Jan. 1.
. The hike earlier this year included 28 events with more than 248 hikers journeying throughout 952 miles of state trails, according to New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection officials. Sunday’s walks — which start between 6 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. — range from the Warren Highlands Trail towards the bottom of the state to Belleplain State Forest in Cape May and Liberty State Park up north in Hudson County.
Moreover, Rovetto said the Mahwah-based rescue squad — which provides volunteer incident management, mountain rescue, medical, and ground search services in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — uses the hike as “practice” for future operations. Thus, with at least four squad members on hand, hikers can expect to get a glimpse of how rescue volunteers work in the field, Rovetto said.
