Hiking in the New Year

We had the BEST NEW YEAR EVER!  We led a hiking getaway at Mohican Outdoor Center over the New Year's weekend and made lots of new friends.

Here's a photo of the group gathered for the hike on Saturday, December 31, around White Lake in Blairstown, NJ, near the Mohican Center:

That evening, before the festivities, we all made a moonlight hike up to the Appalachian Trail and enjoyed views out over the Paulinskill Valley from the ridge:

The party itself was a highlight.  Many of us danced, as you can see from this photo:

There was even more hiking on Sunday.  The weather was sunny and clear, but with a chilly wind on the ridge.  Here's a photo of part of the group at the trailhead for our Sunday hike to Raccoon Ridge and Mount Mohican:
