This loop hike is located in Sourland Mountain Preserve.  There are no scenic views during this hike but the area is very popular for bouldering.

From the south end of the parking lot, follow the white circle trail just before reaching a small pond.  After .3 miles, the trail intersects with the Pipeline trail.  Turn right and follow the Pipeline trail for .25 miles where it will intersect White Square trail.  Turn left on the White Square trail and follow for 2.2 miles where the trail will intersect with the Pipeline trail again.

After another mile on the White Square trail, an area of large glacier erratics appears.  This area and another about .3 miles ahead, are very popular for climbers and bouldering.  The area could be crowded on weekends but easy to pass by.  Continue on the White Square trail for another 1.5 miles and the north end of the parking area.
