This moderate five-mile hike in Jenny Jump State Forest in western New Jersey climbs to several panoramic viewpoints, passes several interesting glacial erratics and descends to the scenic Ghost Lake.
Whether it is summertime fun, an autumn hike among the changing leaves, a visit to an indoor exhibit during the winter, or watching the springtime flowers bloom, these are year-round attractions.
If you have ever traveled up to scenic Warren County, New Jersey Then you know it is much different than here at the Shore. Unlike here where it is basically flat and at sea level, Much of Warren County is elevated with many hills and some mountains.
Meteors
The Coma Berenicids, running now through Saturday, Jan. 23, are the first shower of the year but they are guaranteed to be superseded by what will probably be the best shower of January, if not the year: the Quantarids, a.k.a. as the Bootids, from Friday, Jan. 1 to Tuesday, Jan. 5, peaking on Sunday, Jan. 3 at 120 per hour. The catch is that this is under a nearly full or full moon.
Two other showers also start on Friday, Jan. 1, the Gamma Velids, lasting until Friday, Jan. 15, with a peak of 2 per hour on Tuesday, Jan. 5. and the Delta Cancrids lasting until Sunday, Jan. 31, peaking Sunday, Jan. 17 at 3 per hour.
