Hiking NJ: High Point State Park

 

High Point State Park


The High Point Monument sits on the summit of the Kittatinny Ridge (1803ft above the sea level), the highest point in New Jersey. 







There are many trails reaching the summit, long or short. The famous Appalachian Trail goes through  High Point State Park as well (check out the  Trail Map).  However, the easiest/laziest way to reach the monument is simply driving up there, which was what we did  in a cold cloudy autumn afternoon.
