If this state weren’t so beautiful, we would’ve moved a long time ago.
Why would anyone want to hike in New Jersey? It’s taking your life in your hands just driving a car through that wretched place.
You left out ‘gas tax hike’.. ;-)
#1 - Appalachian Trail south, to the end in GA.
NJ is raising taxes again?
Many areas of the Northeast are beautiful and very safe.
Just avoid the highways and the big cities—and it is a different world.
Our little town in CT has almost as many bears as registered Democrats. :-)
How about we follow the Menedez Trail to Central America for the young’uns.
Thanks for posting!
Doesn’t look like Ringwood or Hibernia are on the list - great hiking in former iron-mining areas. As another poster points out, Lyme disease is present throughout the state.
FYI: The chemical used on military fatigues is available for civilian use; can be bought at Wally World. Spraying Permethrin on your clothing doesn’t just repel ticks - it kills them on contact. Should be re-applied after six washings or six weeks, IIRC; spray outdoors and allow to dry the day before, and you’re good to go (just use bug spray on exposed skin). I also treat my cap, boots, and pack.
If you have the misfortune to live there, the best hike you could take is one that gets you to another state .
