Hike description has been updated
<p>Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. As you are presumably aware, over a year ago, the western end of the Halifax Trail was reblazed pink-on-white as part of the Five Ponds Loop, and I have updated the hike description to reflect this change.</p>

Updates Needed
First, I just want to say how much I appreciate Mr. Chazin's guides, as they've directed me on literally hundreds of adventures over the years. His clear descriptions are always a comfort to have.
As the Jan. 2021 map shows, there have been a few trail changes on this hike since this guide was written: https://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/maps/ringwood-trail.pdf
Notably, the green trail becomes pink about a mile or two before it hits the white trail. Also, the side trail to the last view point is now blazed with a black star over pink.
Thanks again for all your work!

Question?
<P>I am responsible for launching a NJ Extreme Hike event in 2014 for our non-profit organization, and regret to say that I do not hike!</P>
<P>I am looking for a route of a little more than 20 miles total. I also need to avoid walking the same trails more than once if possible. I was wondering if this trail could be combined with the Ramapo Valley route of 8.8 miles?</P>
<P>I am open to any suggestions and would greatly appreciate any input...as long as it pertains to NJ.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Thank you!</P>

Hike description has been corrected
<p>Thanks for your comments! Looking at the map, it appears that you are correct about the left turn after Glasmere Ponds, and I have edited the hike description so that it now reads correctly.</p>

wrong turn
<p> </p>
<p style="color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; background-color: #edefd9;">Near the end of this beautiful hike, Where these directions say: At the base of the descent, it turns right on a woods road and passes between the two Glasmere Ponds, then turns right at a T-intersection.</p>
<p style="color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; background-color: #edefd9;">After the Glasmere Ponds You NEED to turn LEFT at the T intersection or you will end up at Shepard's lake, quite a ways from your car. </p>
