A TBP Women's Chapter women-only guided hike led by experienced and capable female TrailBound Project instructors and guides. It's an opportunity for women to connect with other women who share a love for the outdoors and want to forge friendships for future adventures and be a part of the women's outdoor community. It also allows a safe environment to focus on female-centric topics that matter to them.
This hike has a nominal, non-refundable $20 registration fee to secure your spot.
Join us for a scenic and enjoyable loop hike through the beautiful trails of Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, the largest park in the Morris County Park System. Spanning more than 3,500 acres of forested hills, lakes, and historic pathways, this area offers some of the most peaceful hiking in northern New Jersey.
This hike covers approximately 5 miles with about 450 feet of elevation gain and loss, which we’ll take at a leisurely, relaxed pace.
Our adventure begins along the historic Ogden Mine Railroad Trail, once used to transport iron ore from the region’s mines. This gentle, wooded path leads us toward the highest point in Morris County, standing at 1,395 feet above sea level. From this quiet high ridge, we’ll continue on to Headley Overlook, where a rewarding view opens across the rolling forested hills of Jefferson Township.
The route features a pleasant mix of wooded trails, gentle climbs, and rolling terrain before gradually descending toward Saffin Pond. This peaceful lakeside spot offers calm water views, wildlife sightings, and great opportunities for photos before we complete the loop back to the trailhead.
The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.
