Appalachian Trail New Jersey, Kittatinny Ridge

Today I went with the Appalachian Mountain Club on a 10.7 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail on the Kittatinny Ridge in New Jersey. We had a group of four hikers and we had a wonderful time. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the Fall colors were nearing peak, although we still saw a lot of green. The trail was interesting and varied, we had some rock scrambling, many beautiful vistas from the ridge, and overlooks of two lakes. After a fabulous day of hiking, Susan and I stopped at a great little restaurant for Thai food on the way home.

Ahhhh! Autumn trails in the Northeast

Is there anything more gorgeous than a maple in Autumn?
