Under furs:
Lenape Trail
Montclair, New Jersey
I know that we've been rather remiss in the "furs" section of this blog. We've wanted to post Lenape Trail since we started the Ultimate Fun Club. It has our unanimous approval.
Lenape has lots of nice trails and some prime viewing spots. It has a wide, graveled central trail which most of the hikers stick to, and a lot of single-track, meandering trails that are kept well-blazed.
This was taken during the summertime. Chibby and Babams can't wait to be off!
These pictures were taken last week. Without the foliage and the underbrush, you can see more of the layout of the trails.
Left: fungus growing on a dead tree trunk. Right: unknown black growths (nests?) on some branches.

Being rather well-trod by people and furs alike, and pretty much because it is right next to several backyards, Lenape does not have an overabundance of unusual critters. We've seen chipmunks, birds (hawks, woodpeckers and little black birds), and the rare squirrel. I don't even think there are deer in the area.
Depending on how you like your hike, Lenape Trail gets jam-packed on weekends, with all the furs out socializing. There are some bikers on the little trails, sometimes. The main trail takes maybe 30 to 45 minutes, depending how briskly you walk. The outermost trails take an hour, is more rugged, and more scenic.
