Hiking Mount Tammany NJ's #1 Hike Explained

[@patbuckley3562]

this is such a great+informative+dope video loved the 3d moment of the trail

[@generik10]

Great video dude!

[@aymankhatib297]

This was the perfect video I was looking for. Everyone was saying parking was a challenge and I loved how you really showed all the lots and best time to be there. Thanks!!

[@krohikinghappens]

You are very welcome, I'm happy you found it helpful. Parking and bathroom facilities are always my first concern when planning a hike and it's hard to find videos that address those concerns. I hope you have an enjoyable Tammany hike!

[@aymankhatib297]

@@krohikinghappens It was super fun! Do you have other recommendations for similar New jersey hikes? Or hikes within vicinity of jersey? I saw your video on wyanokie high point. Definitely adding it to my list!

[@krohikinghappens]

@@aymankhatib297 Glad you had a fun time. Here’s another hike in the same park as Wyanokie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqTWYp-Vp8iFbdEsi=bXekb3HUPJJ3XEl4

Thank you, great video! This is an absolutely incredible hike in winter with fresh snow

[@krohikinghappens]

@@GreenhornPhototaker You’re very welcome. I would really like to hike up there for a sunset sometime. I think that would be incredible. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@serapnj6188]

Thank you for your video! Tomorrow I will be there. And it is going to be my first hiking experience ever 🎉

[@krohikinghappens]

@@serapnj6188 You are very welcome. I hope you enjoy it and be safe. It’s going to be a beautiful day. Think of me when you’re hiking up the trail. Just last week I tried running up it. Check out the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ioqIqqrcudoa8si=ZUEw4dhgqIfuk7Ks

[@krohikinghappens]

@@serapnj6188 Oh, and I also recently posted a video on the Blue Trail you might find helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXmxqHl8mqiKb7Msi=i_3ARbad-r5Y6tpu

[@patriot9494]

Heading there next weekend, appreciate all the info.

[@krohikinghappens]

@@patriot9494 Thanks for watching and commenting. Have fun! I’m currently working on sprinting up there again, trying to legitimately make it in under 30 minutes this time.

[@stevematthews4489]

Have climbed that a few times. Once in the aughts sat at the top overlook, then climbed myself down to the outcrop and sat for a while, then climbed back up and sat down again. As soon as I sat down a black bear climbed out of the brush and strolled across the outcrop I was just sitting on (have pics somewhere). I'm thinking it was waiting for me to leave.

[@krohikinghappens]

@@stevematthews4489 That’s a wild story! I’ve been there many times, hiked all over northern Jersey, carry bear spray and have never seen a bear. I’m sure they are always close by and just waiting for me to move on, like in your case. Thanks for watching and commenting. Great story!

[@glory5918]

Thanks for your great tour. Most informative.

[@krohikinghappens]

@@glory5918 You are very welcome! Enjoy the trail.

[@mattfoley6082]

I've done this a few times. Great workout! I took the blue dot trail down which is nice scenery along a creek.

[@krohikinghappens]

@@mattfoley6082 yes, and a nice waterfall as well. We were back there to view the solar eclipse a few months ago. Nice little crowd up there for the show and a ranger was handing out free glasses.

[@luciac.419]

Is that where Sunfiah pond is at?

[@krohikinghappens]

@@luciac.419 Sunfish pond is about 4 miles north of here. The Appalachian Trail goes north from the Rt 80 parking lot and runs along the pond.

[@krohikinghappens]

There's actual a couple of ways to get to Sunfish Pond. One way is via the AT that I mentioned. You can see that hike here: www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/new-jersey/sunfish-pond-via-appalachian-trail--3 Another is shorter and comes up from Mine Road via the Garvey Springs Trail. This one takes you to the north end of the pond which is way more scenic than the south end. www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-jersey/sunfish-pond-via-garvey-springs-trail

[@luciac.419]

@@krohikinghappens Thank you! I haven't been there in about 18/19 years

[@bobzelley5100]

18 minutes 38 seconds is my best time from route 80 to the bedrock outcrop with a small area that may have standing water. In high school several of us from high school wrestling would do three intervals to make it a full morning .

[@krohikinghappens]

@@bobzelley5100 That’s awesome! I’ll be proud of myself if I can break 30mins. Have you heard of the Tammany 10 Ultramarathon? It’s 10 laps in 10 hours and like 40 miles. That’s so crazy. I was hiking there once when they were holding the marathon.

[@GreenhornPhototaker]

​@@krohikinghappensof course it's not like the marathon, but Minsi and Tammany back to back in a day is fun too

[@krohikinghappens]

@@GreenhornPhototaker I’ve done Minsi solo but together with Tammany sounds challenging. I’m currently working on trying to summit Tammany in under 30 minutes again. I have one video up on my first attempt a couple weeks ago and I’ll be back soon for another go ‘round. 🥵

[@GreenhornPhototaker]

@@krohikinghappens excellent! 30 is legit difficult, good luck!

[@krohikinghappens]

@@GreenhornPhototaker Thank you for your subscription. I gave you a sub as well and look forward to checking out your catalog.

[@David-vq6qg]

Please, how long is the hike, round trip? Im going there this friday with some friends.

[@krohikinghappens]

Average time to hike up the Mt Tammany Trail (Red Dot) is about 1 hour or so, depending on how many breaks you take. So, 2 hours round trip if you go back down the same trail. If you go down the Blue Trail it's longer so maybe around 2 hours 20 minutes if you don't stop too many times. Have fun and thanks for watching.

[@bebopkirby]

That background traffic noise would ruin the whole experience for me. I live 5 miles from the White House and a walk in the park is not nearly as noisy as that. Other than that it looks very nice.

[@krohikinghappens]

@@bebopkirby yes, definitely very noisy at the first lookout but it’s not too bad up top. Thanks for watching.

[@DJChrisSee]

Yeah RT 80 runs right through there and it is crazy noisy. I got married a few miles northwest of there, outdoors, and the traffic noise is non-existent there.

[@roadsgt97]

Who wants to hike there if its packed with people might as well take a walk in a park

[@krohikinghappens]

Yeah, that's why I avoid going there on weekends in the summer. It is an amazing hike but you have to go during the week or super early.

[@josephsmith2063]

Beautiful views but the highway noise is terrible and takes away from the serenity

[@krohikinghappens]

It's certainly really noisy down below and at the first lookout. I've been up there so many times now to be honest, I don't really notice any noise at the top anymore.
