Camp Glen Gray Ten Mile Hike

Here's a ten-miler that should give you a good workout, with lots of nice views and features along the way.

 

1.    Starting from Camp HQ, take the Millstone Trail (white) from the parking lot kiosk up the hill to Mother's Pavilion.

 

2.    From there, take a sharp left onto the Schuber Trail (orange) and follow it south through old Camp Tamarack to the trail's end at Skyline Drive.

 

3.    Now follow the connecting Todd Trail (white) back into the woods and east toward old Camp Todd, turning left at the Yellow Trail (yellow).

 

4.    Follow the Yellow Trail north (the Millstone Trail joins for a half-mile along the way, and includes the actual millstones) to the 996' Northeast Lookout, where the Schuber Trail (orange) merges with the Yellow Trail.

 

5.    Proceed for another 200 yards and find the start of the Old Guard Trail (green tulip-leaf/ white) on the left.

 

6.    Follow this for 2.94 miles until it turns right to merge with the Schuber Trail.

 

7.    Now follow the combined route, but stay with the Schuber Trail, as it crosses a new Eagle Scout bridge, toward Ramapo campsite.

 

8.    Turn right to follow the Matapan Rock Trail (red/ white) to the Matapan Rock's lovely views. Return round trip on the Matapan Rock Trail

 

9.    Turn right to continue along the Schuber Trail until you come again to the Mother's Pavilion. Continue straight ahead; now back on the Millstone Trail, which leads back to Camp HQ, hopefully in time for tea!
