Harriman Hikers’ Annual Thanksgiving Hike, Sunday November 30th, 2008 Announcement
Harriman Hikers Sunday-After-Thanksgiving Hike is always one of the highlight events of year!
Every year as far back as any of us can remember, on the Sunday following Thanksgiving, Harriman Hikers has held an easy hike with the intention sharing leftovers (as well as specially prepared dishes) and the spirit of the holiday with other hiking friends and family.
Traditionally, as if by magic, old hiking friends materialize to join us for this special day. Turnouts of 50-60 people are not unusual.
Just follow this easy recipe:

Lately, Fall has been in its full splendor in Harriman State Park, NY, Harriman Hikers’ “back yard”, so to speak. Everyone will probably agree this Autumn has been an exceptional leaf-peeping season, with mild, sunny weather on weekends and few windy storms that can and have caused early blow-down in other years.
Please set your clocks BACK one hour before you go to bed this Saturday night, November 1st. Standard Daylight time will be in effect this Sunday, November 2nd.
The following from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FAQS Page:
It’s late September and the leaves are just starting to change here in north New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley in New York State. Fall officially began on Monday, September 22, 2008, at 11:44:16 EDT (15:44:16 UCT) and in a matter of weeks going forward, the foliage in our part of the country will peak to its show of brilliant Autumn colors everywhere, before the Winter fallow period begins shortly afterward. A little like people on Saturday night! 
Notice how the bright Fall colors are still mixed with the remaining lush Summer greenery. Interesting time of year, no?
This post also serves to highlight the fact that while Harriman Hikers most frequently hikes its namesake, Harriman State Park, NY, we also hike in other wilderness parks and reserves / preserves in the area, such as Ramapo Reservation, a Bergen County Park, located a short distance from our weekly meetup at Ramapo College of New Jersey in Mahwah, NJ.

It’s a sure sign that summer is here when the blueberries are ripe! Ask any Harriman Hiker and they will tell you the joys of many July / August summer hikes include wild blueberries! Right now, end of July 2008, seems to be peak season this year.
