Hiking in New Jersey and Beyond
We headed to Hacklebarney to get the last bits of lovely fall color before Sandy came to town and ended foliage season…. and as it turned out made a huge mess out of Jersey in general.
Even though it was overcast the day we went, it was still gorgeous. Hacklebarney isn’t a very big park with a lot of trails, but there is a lot of scenery packed in and is a must-do park if you’re into landscape photography.
It had been over three years since we’d hiked Wildcat Ridge (“Four Birds Trail (south) – Wildcat Ridge“). We had planned to revisit last year and just didn’t get to it. So we chose that for our first hike getting back into the swing of things – I’d been sidelined with a sore foot issue for [...]
The great thing about keeping a Trail Blog is being able to track info about your hikes – but the downside is that it underscores how quickly time passes. I was sure we were just at Pyramid until I noticed that the last entry for it was over a year ago – and that was [...]
We’d just been to Morristown National Park last fall and did the Grand Loop at Jockey Hollow, but is was not long after Snowtober had made a mess of hiking trails around the state and we wanted to hit the park in the Spring. Jockey Hollow can be wonderfully dense with green, so we decided [...]

Many people had the same idea, whether it was to take advantage of the unusually mild (low-50s) winter day or maybe getting an early start on a New Years resolution to exercise more. We chose Mahlon because we wanted a moderate [...]
Hike details found on the Jockey Hollow page. We ended up at Morristown National Park for Veteran’s Day Weekend, hiking Jockey Hollow and a bit into the adjacent Lewis Morris Park. It had been over two years since we’d done the Grand Loop and Mt Kemble Loop trails. As soon as we drove into the [...]
