Appalachian Trail: Sunrise Mountain to High Point
Sunday, June 29, 2025
In this hike series, we are taking on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world – one section at a time. For this adventure, we are tackling a New Jersey section. This day is book-ended with two beautiful viewpoints! We start at a scenic overlook on Sunrise Mountain, and we end at the highest point in New Jersey, marked by an impressive obelisk. Because this is a point-to-point hike, there is no need to double-back. It’s only the Appalachian Trail, and it’s new places all day long. For this trip, the mileage in a little longer, but the elevation gain is not very intense, making for a nice, moderate hike. And we are close to NYC, so no long drives! Come explore the AT with us!
