I would also love to get tips from you and any stories you wish to share - have you come across bears? Snakes? Other critters? The hike I took to get the images featured here was the first time I was out when I had to think about bears - the two times mentioned above, I should have been thinking about them but never did. If you are experienced hiking the trail and wish to offer "must see" trails or features, please let me know in the comments below. I am looking forward to my Appalachian Trail adventure and taking you along with me. I do not get up to the northern end of the state that often so it is likely to take quite some time between posts. The plan is to hike each trail, shoot and write about each in a separate blog post. There are also a couple other trails that I am considering but these five are the core. If you are familiar with the New Jersey section of the trail and would like to offer something not included here, please let me know in the comments below. The article discusses five (5) hikes, as-follows:

This is the section of the trail that I will be taking when I do the Sunfish Pond hike. The only section of the trail I have hiked at any length is along Dunnfield Creek at the Delaware Water Gap. The first time was due to illness of my companion and the second was an injury that I suffered. Tammany only to turn back shortly after setting out. Many years ago I twice attempted to hike the Red Trail to the summit of Mt. There may be other hikes or locations along the way some of the waterfalls will be featured in a separate post. It was published in June 2017 on the website, The Trek and lists five (5) hikes that are pretty special. I am using an article, New Jersey: Must-See Day Hikes on the Appalachian Trail by Colleen Goldhorn as a resource. While I would love to take time to hike and camp along the entire length, I am going to settle for some of the more inspiring day hikes. New Jersey is host to seventy-four (74) miles of the trail, cutting thru the northern part of the state. The Appalachian Trail is approximately 2,200 miles (3,500 km) in length and runs from Mount Katahdin, Maine to Springer Mountain, Georgia.
