===============
This event will start with a short tour of the grounds surrounding the Skylands Manor. We will then explore the lavish array of flowers in the majestic NJ Botanical Gardens. After we have had our fill of the sweet aromas we will cross the lush fields and into the trails beyond. Our hike up to Bear Swamp lake will be about 6 miles and is suitable for beginners. It will, however, begin with a tough climb that will bring us to an amazing view of the Skylands Estate with the Wanaque Reservoir and rolling mountains off in the distance. The hike doesn't end there but you'll have to attend to find out more.
