For the penultimate day of the year, I went back and found Point Mountain in the Hunterdon County Musconetcong River Reservation.
I parked at the trail head off Point Mountain Road. The climb started after a few hundred feet, and would have been a rock scramble if not for the series of well crafted rock steps.
After taking in the views from the Point, we enjoyed a series of interesting rock formations. The ridge trail wound around and down the back side of the mountain, along the edge of a farm field, and finished along the banks of the majestic Musconetcong River, which was flowing quick, clear, and cold. The hike provided a diverse mix of rocks, forest, scenic views, farm fields, and river bank trail scenes. Highly recommended, pics below. Happy New Year, folks!
