Schedule (full agenda)

Please RSVP below or by calling 201-512-9348 so we know how many pancakes to make.

Our pancake breakfast with 100% maple syrup is becoming a tradition of the Trail Conference’s annual meetings. Come join us as we say thank-you to our trail volunteers: maintainers, supervisors, trails chairs, crew members, crew leaders, and crew chiefs. They are the folks who take care of the trails so we can hike.

Join us and meet other people who share your interest in trails and hiking. Hikes in the area are scheduled for after the meeting.
