The hike is free, but everyone is encouraged to register so their support will be counted. For free registration, go to http://freewalkers.org/events/the-lenape34-columbus-day-walk
This walk is a total of 34 miles and going across a marked trail called the "Lenape Trail." There are alternatives for shorter segments, so walkers do not have to go the entire distance. Walkers also have the support of two train lines for mass transportation both to and from several points along the way. There are also several busses runnng in the area.
The name "Lenape" suggests honoring the Native American ancestors of our area on a day when we also honor the discovery of America. So the organizers have dubbed this the "Origins Walk."
