Five great fall hikes in New Jersey
A few weeks ago, a reader I know sent an email asking for stories and guides to the outdoors in New Jersey. I live there, after all, and grew up following my camouflage-clad dad through the trails and forests in Medford and the Pine Barrens. That weird, sandy swath of the Garden State is filled with unusual animals and mysteries and it’s among my favorite places in the world.
I like to think that a big draw of hiking for me is the challenge and I assumed most hikes in New Jersey, which is mostly flat, were too easy. But who am I kidding? I also like to lie in my new hammock in my backyard and stare up at my willow tree. There’s something to be said for being able to hike and enjoy the scenery as opposed to sweating, struggling for breath, and staring at your boots as you slog up a hill.
