A great indicator of your state of health is how long you can walk. I define a long walk as being over one hour in duration. Getting out on the road and taking a long walk is the high point of my walking experience!
Hiking the Paulinskill Valley Rail Trail - Part 1
As I prepared for my walking adventures this spring, I spend a good deal of time searching for a walking route with smooth, even footing, gradual inclines and declines, and a shaded trail that goes on for miles and miles. I know, I thought it would be easier to find a unicorn in a haystack, but to my great surprise and good fortune, such a trail does exist.
On the hottest day of late spring, I found the most walkable trail in North Jersey called the Paulinskill Valley Rail Trail.
