Such a peaceful walk through the snow! The quiet beauty of the woods is so soothing. Thanks for sharing this serene experience!🥰L8

Audio is exceptionally good.

Looks like Coco had a great time! The snow is so pretty on the trail and on the lake. Not so much in my driveway. Time to drag out the snowblower.

I've had Raymondskill on my mind recent as a short hike. Still looks wonderful even without the full freeze over from past years. Maybe we'll get lucky before this winter ends and get that big flow followed by a big freeze.

We have much in common when it comes to the level of detail we put into planning our adventures. Best of luck with this and I look forward to seeing all the fantastic shots you return home with. I have not been to this area of the country yet but hope to someday.

Tillman ravine runs down hill thru the forest and spills over the mountain to make Butternut Falls.....incase you didnt know. 😊

My favorite thing to do with you ❤ lets just take a road trip

Beautiful 😍😍

OMG, how can I pick a favorite mile? This place is amazing. Amazing colors and views on every mile. OMG, that ledge in mile 4 is a bit of a heart-pounder! I absolutely love all the rock scrambling but what's up with that tight section in the middle of mile 5? Almost looks like a bushwhack. OMG, now a Catskills view? OMG! Am I overusing OMG?? I can't believe I've never heard of this place. My jaw is literally hanging right now. I must go! When you were on the carriage road, I thought that was going to be the end of the views, NOPE! Oh, and throw in a wonderful lake view for good measure. This hike had it all. You hit the fall color timing just right. We were just in NY this past weekend and most of the leaves had fallen already. Well done and thank you for showing me this place.

Crater Lake is such a great spot for fall shooting. Thanks for bringing us along, and including the comet views.

Wow, dude. The timelapse of the comet is just spectacular. Well done, my friend. We tried in vain to see it but never did. I could just make it out in that one shot of yours simulating a naked eye view. But you're right, unless you're looking really hard you could miss it. And I don't have that kind of patience. 😄

Beautiful!! I love Sussex county roads. I have Wawayanda Lake marked on my google map to check out to today and then Saffin Pond per your suggestion. It looks like a beautiful place hoping I get some great photos . Thank you for sharing.

Is their a best scenic drive in Bergen County, Passaic County or Morris County?

This is a great video Lou. Thanks for putting it together.

Fantastic video, my friend. Watched it after a long day of touring Harpers Ferry, WV. It was fun to see some familiar sights from our NJ AT section hikes like Wallkill Wildlife and Pochuck Boardwalk. Awesome soundtrack, I can picture you jamming out to it while on your drive. Well done.👍

great video, bookmarked it. stumbled on Buck Hill Brewery after some del water gap kayaking just last month - wonderful little spot.

Thanks for this. Just did a few drives to see the foliage in PA and NY last weekend. Basically picked out roads from Google Maps that looked interesting. I think I know what I will be doing this weekend.

Beautiful drive...thanks for sharing 👊🏻😀!!! But I have to ask you, how do you avoid a copyright strike?

Beautiful fall setting. I love those shots at 8:23

Great video thank you for sharing watching from Africa Uganda

It's a short hike and not very demanding, but I agree the area is so very beautiful

That's a beautiful area that I did not know of. It was really cool to see what goes into setting up a shot. You certainly have patience! I think my favorite shot was the main waterfall with the rock in the forefront. Of course, they are all beautiful shots that I would have no chance of ever taking. 😆Thank God for point-and-shoot auto settings! Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful area.

I think the lack of rain this year is causing the leaves to change early. We need more rain soon otherwise they'll just die and drop off.

Great list. This was a lot of fun to follow. I was happy raccoon ridge won as it’s definitely a gem of a spot.

Well damn brother, I think you have put together the undisputed most comprehensive list of NJ views that will ever be done. Magnificent work! Have you ever by chance seen any of the views of South Jersey, some of the viewpoints over the expansive Pinelands?

I have been so looking forward to this list! You did a fantastic job explaining your ranking methodology and your footage at each location is just amazing. I have been to all but one of these locations (Horsepond). I will not argue Racoon Ridge as #1. I've been there twice. The first time, it was our destination, and we had it to ourselves, and it was wonderful. The second time was during our AT section hikes and I was so looking forward to including some great footage as we passed through. It happened to be during the hawk watch season, so the rock pile was completely taken over by those folks and there was no chance of our group getting any fun shots around there and I was pretty disappointed. I was not at all expecting the Bearfort Ridge view to be in your top 3 but I can see now why it is. I'm hoping to get back to Wyanokie soon. I love Norvin Green and I'm trying to put together a playlist of hikes there. I have a hike to Van Slyke Castle in Ramapo Forest next weekend. There are supposed to be some great views along the Castle Loop trail. Have you been there?

You had a nice clear day up there and I didn't see anyone else which is very rare. Pinwheel is in my top three favorites with Tammany and Racoon Ridge. I can send you a coupon for Prevagen. 😉

Man, those things are LOUD! Great footage, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your experience. What was the time when you started the hike? The fall picture you showed in the middle looked stunning as well.

Alert Alert Alert!!!! Roadwork complete, this full route is again open, just in time for fall foliage. Enjoy!

Dude, you have b*lls of steel the way you stepped to the very edge of the ledge. When I was there I tried my best to do it but I couldn't gather the courage. Hats off to you!

Looks like fun!

The first time I ever hiked Tammany many years ago it was during a cloud inversion. I had never seen one before. I haven’t hiked this in a couple years because of the large crowds but I have a weekday off now in my schedule so I may copy you and go super early one day to try and avoid that. 4 years ago on a humid July Saturday. I parked in the visitors center lot on the east side of 80 and hiked across the bridge and up mount minsi. Then came back and crossed the highway and hiked up mount Tammany back to back. Talk about jelly legs! I must have taken like 10 breaks on the way up Tammany lol

Wow! I have never seen Tammany like that before. That view with the fog is just amazing and you captured it so well. Oh, and thank you so much for the shout out! ❤❤I was not expecting that at all. You were very lucky to have the summit to yourself for that much time. Tammany is by far my favorite hiking spot in NJ. I've been there so many times now. We even went there for the solar eclipse back in April and surprisingly the crowd was not so bad. A ranger was there handing out the glasses and everyone had a great time, even though the clouds eventually rolled in before max coverage. I would love to be there for a sunset sometime, so that is on my list! Thanks for sharing this awesome video of MY favorite view in NJ. 👍x10

Lou, this was fabulous for me to watch as an amateur videographer and photographer. I really appreciated seeing the perspective from Pixel and GoPro as I use both of those as well. Those cliffs are one of my favorite spots too, I know exactly where you were and even saw some of the little Prickly pear cactus on the cliff edge. Sunrises are so interesting the way they develop, such a wonderful time to be outside in nature. Great work here man, I learned some things and you captured some really nice images. Another excellent and creative video presentation!

Hiking in the dark is definitely a different experience. I've only done it twice. Once was on purpose, hiking before dawn to Blood Mountain. The other time was purely by accident. We got caught coming down Algonquin after sunset because I totally misjudged how long that hike would be. The GoPros are really not good in low light at all. Wow, that is a beautiful sunrise, and I didn't expect to see Highpoint when I started watching this so that was a very cool surprise. Nice job!

Thanks for this video Lou- planning to do this hike next weekend. The panoramic view looks amazing.

Sussex and warren counties are Jerseys best kept secrets.

This is a new one for me. Looks pretty nice. I’ll definitely have to look into hiking in that area. Thanks!

Yea this is more of local favorite of mine as it’s probably the closest vista to my house. It does look better when it’s not so cloudy. But you do have to step down on an angle. To get the best perspective of the view. The off trail ledge is more expansive of a view. But it’s off trail and not easy to find. I can show you one day If you want. It’s funny I’ve probably been to those vista like 20plus times. And I’ve only run into bear poop but yet to run into an actual bear on the trail lol. I’d still give wild cat ridge a look before you end your list. It’s an easy short hike and they may be staring the hawk watch there soon. And the northern section of norvin green state forest that goes to lake Sonoma then up to overlook rock and then to maniticut point. Is a fun loop hike and is remote compared to the rest of norvin green. You would park at crescent drive for that one.there is a giant glacial erratic at the start of the trail head.

Why so fast? BTW: I live there.

I do this hike at least once or twice a year. I do it as a figure 8 loop. There are a couple more smaller views on the way down the HB trail after Osio to get to the start of the red trail and then yes the red trail is just a straight line back to the road.

Well done, Lou. Excellent and accurate review of Osio Rock. One of my favorite hikes in Norvin Green. I've been here three times now and each time I took a different direction around the figure eight loop that also includes Torne Mountain. That steep scramble section is so much fun both up and down!

I did this about 6 months ago. I loved it. There was a Wedding ceremony taking place at the Stone Living Room when my hiking group got there. We stayed and watched the ceremony......and then continued with the trail

Favorite motorcycle road! 3:12

Shout out to the Up the Creek Cafe, just after you leave highpoint on 23 south. Voted best cheesecake in NJ 2020 through 2023. Stopped in there after doing some driving on sawmill and deckertown tpk. Great pizza, too, in a very scenic setting.

I discovered sawmill road and decker town tpk just yesterday after visiting Highpoint Monument. Can't wait to try the rest!

The things I'm going to do to these roads..thank you so much for posting!
