High Point

High Point - NJ State High Point

In the past I've driven up but took Monument Trail this time, a short walk to the top. Clear and crisp day but windy (which is a common state.) In the past you could climb the stairs in the obelisk but it's been closed every time I visit because of safety reasons. There are additional trails throughout the park (including the Appalachian Trail) but I haven't had the chance to explore.
