It's always a good day when you introduce a new friend to the beauty of New Jersey. I took @victoria_hess__ to High Mountain Preserve for a bit of hiking on this unseasonably warm November morning. Afterward we got bagel sandwiches as one does in NJ and headed to @seventribesmen for some tasty beer. Brought some of that home too. #hiking #hikingtrails #njtrails #hikingviews #nj #njlife #newjersey #newjerseyhiking #newjerseyparks #newjerseyphotography #newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyisntboring #just_newjersey #yesnj #紐澤西 #爬山 #nuevajersey #hikinglove #hikinglife #hikingnj #hikingday #naturegram #naturelovers #naturetravel #autumnleaves (at High Mountain Park Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmBTBWvMIp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's amazing how so many people believe New Jersey is nothing but highways and warehouses. There's so much beauty in the state that we keep secret because we don't want more drivers on our roads. We'll keep this wonderful hike at Pyramid Mountain in Boonton to ourselves. It's scenic and not too difficult, though there are trails with steep inclines to enjoy the views. On the way home, I stopped for lunch at Denville Seafood & Codmothers Cafe for a wonderful dish of scrod with fried potato pancake and a creamy leek sauce. Overall, a wonderful day on a hot summer weekend. #hiking #hikingtrails #njtrails #njnature #newjerseyisntboring #just_newjersey #yesnj #NJ #newjersey #newjerseyparks #newjerseyphotography #爬山 #公園 #紐澤西 #美國旅遊 #natureshots #naturegram #hikinglove #hikingnj #hikingday #newjerseyhiking #newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseytravel #parks #njadventures #njparks #naturelovers #natureshot @visit_nj @njspots (at Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChnIEOjAmcM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When it was slightly cooler last weekend, I headed a little south to visit a friend I hadn't seen in almost 2.5 years. We took a short morning hike to Devil's Half-acre Boulders in Sourland Mountain Preserve before getting lunch outside at Brick Farm Tavern. The hike was slower than planned as we ran into someone familiar, but it was a worthwhile time out. @brickfarmtavern was great as always with a smoked brisket sandwich and a set of tasters from @troonbrewing to go along. We also worked off some of the meal and the additional beer later with hikers through Mercer Meadows. #hiking #hikingtrails #njtrails #njnature #newjerseyisntboring #just_newjersey #yesnj #njparks #nature #hikingadventures #hikinglove #爬山 #紐澤西 #旅遊日記 #好吃 #restaurants #njfood #njlife #njrestaurants #njviews #newjerseyhiking #newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyfood #newjerseytravel #njtravel #travelnj (at Sourland Mountain Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgVKdSPFNli/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend was beautiful. I headed to the Columbia Trail for the first time in about 4 years with @mrceenedd for a bike ride. We rode from High Bridge to Long Valley and back (with a coffee break in between) for a total of 23 miles. The trail is wonderful and scenic with some clydesdales along the way. On the way back to High Bridge, we turned off the trail to ride through Ken Lockwood Gorge. This is my favorite ride in NJ. #biking #newjersey #newjerseyparks #newjerseyphotography #njtrails #njnature #newjerseyisntboring #njbikelife #njbiking #自然 #紐澤西 #自行車道 #騎自行車 #riverside #njlife #njviews #columbiatrail #bikeride #biketrail #bikingaround #bikingisfun #bikestagram #visitnj #njadventures #njtravel #just_newjersey #yesnj (at Columbia Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdECro4FSq6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The weather is getting warmer and the plants are beginning to bloom. It's almost spring, which means I won't need to bundle up when going hiking around New Jersey. It'll still likely be muddy, so I may need to get a new pair of boots to keep my feet dry. Last hike I took was to Watchung Reservation, and my boots are still covered in mud from that 5-mile hike.
