Great advice, just do it. Three years ago my wife and I moved from PA to New Mexico to work with drug and alcohol recovery. I much prefer the landscape of PA, but our calling is out here now. Nice video.
I am from Alaska! I am trying to do the Highest Point of each of the Fifty States! Denali is Alaska's State Highpoint at 20,310 ft! I am thinking about also doing All of Alaska's Borough's Highpoints! Alaska has Boroughs not Counties!
I live in Hopatcong now, halfway from nyc and the del water gap which is great to visit. High point always a favorite. Has a visitor center and hiking trails.
Hi Cliff, they were some spectacular views there, such a beautiful location. Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to share that with us. x
I was there last year... The lake water is so cold and refreshing I don't think I been anywhere like that in the entire state... Theres a very nice woody scenic road that takes you to Stokes State Park.. Its just plain old beautiful... Stokes does not have a swimming area so if your camping you have two other places to go and High Points is beautiful..
Great video. I’ve seen that monument every time I travel to PA along I 84. I believe it’s the point where New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania come together. And I was not aware you could drive up there. Thanks for sharing these videos with us! Great views.
My mom lives in Warren County right near the Delaware Water Gap. The northwest corner of New Jersey is beautiful mountain forest terrain. Most people don't even know there are parts of New Jersey like that.
Grew up in Northern NJ, many a family picnic at High Point State Park in 50s/60s looks the same glad it's not been commercialized further. Same telescopes for viewing 👌💯
Great video. I haven't been there in close to 20 years. Somewhere in that park, possibly on the mountain, there is an Atlantic White Cedar swamp, and a trail goes through it. Here in the pine barrens the cedar swamps are common, but not so much up there.
I bet there are all sorts of things from long ago around that area. The natives would have found themselves drawn to it. No museum? Have a wonderful life,a life full of wonder .
Many eastern states have a stupid road on their freaking high point, thus wrecking it. One thing that I like about PA is that they don't have a stinking road and a rat-ass visitor center on their high point. Most of the states I visit here in the east eff up their highest mountain. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey all have roads and buildings on their high points. It's messed up. For some reason Virginia avoided doing that, thank goodness. Kentucky avoided it because the high point is owned by a coal company that was getting ready to use Black Mountain as a strip mine and it was going to end up as a pit instead of a mountain. But somehow that was avoided (for now). Maine and New York and Connecticut also have high points free of roads. Mansfield in Vermont doesn't have a road to the top, but it does have suck-ass ski resorts on the slopes (ya just can't win, sometimes). Having never been to Jersey's high point, I have to say it's cooler than I figured it would be. Not bad, actually!
Soon there will be buildings in Manhattan that are taller than the highest point in New Jersey! No offense but 1,803 feet altitude is not very impressive! Perhaps only Florida and Delaware have a lower “high point”. Nevertheless, I am familiar with that northwest quadrant of New Jersey and that is the prettiest part of the “Garden State” (but again there is not much competition because most of New Jersey suffers from toxic pollution and petrochemical refineries.
Interesting place. I enjoyed the views. Thank you for taking folks here. And thank you for the wise words.
The Garden State is an Awesome Place.. Jersey Girl🍃💐🌾🌺🌻

Do you have a you tube channel? I have a friend who went fishing in sitka and got some big fish
I've been there before, amazing views, also hiking trails.
I remember going there on a school trip when I was a little kid. Born and raised and still living in NW NJ.
(Grew up in Ringwood. I guess that's more North Central.)

Never would have guessed that was new Jersey. Learn something new every day.

You should come down to TN, see Clingman's Dome and Mt. Mitchell, NC. Thanks for the video!
Someday
Many beautiful overlooks to come. . .looking forward to them.
Thanks for taking me along, really enjoyed it

Good one. Beautiful.
Use to go there when I was in HS. And Sunrise Mountain.
beautiful vista
Awesome views!
Cool. Thank U for sharing. I would like to visit and stay around that area for a couple of days. Perhaps U can recommend another places of interest?
Nice! Gonna head there soon looks great
Great video. I haven't been there in close to 20 years. Somewhere in that park, possibly on the mountain, there is an Atlantic White Cedar swamp, and a trail goes through it. Here in the pine barrens the cedar swamps are common, but not so much up there.
I would have liked to hike that trail that day, but I had a limited amount of time there.
Dryden Kuser Natural Area is the spot to see if you're in High Point. Very nice!!
I would have spent more time there, but I had to work that night
Fantastic views .
I bet there are all sorts of things from long ago around that area. The natives would have found themselves drawn to it. No museum?
Have a wonderful life,a life full of wonder .
I went to a camp near there growing up! Upstate NY is a wonder💙
Great video do you know of any waterfalls in the park i heard theres a hidden one by lake rutherford
Great video!
thanks Cliff
Good memories!
truly the whole earth is full of his glory
Is it a difficult drive up there
This is technically your third state High Point Pennsylvania Delaware New Jersey
What is your home county and home state?
Berks county, PA
Thanks
What do you do for work.......
Hi. Going there tomorrow
The highest point in N.J. is not at the monument. The 1972 US Geological survey found a higher elevation on top of Vernon NJ along the gas pipeline
What are you doing in my home state??

I am surprised that there wasn't a cell phone tower there.
there are some caves up that way
I live in the hudson valley
Get out and Explore your world!
would be cool if you did the highest point in all the states but I realize that would take a ton of time, money and energy to accomplish .
I will be attempting to do all 50 - at least that's the plan
Soon there will be buildings in Manhattan that are taller than the highest point in New Jersey!
