Sure, there are trees practically everywhere in New Jersey, which means you can get an eyeful of the fall foliage just by stepping outside. But if you want to really experience the fall foliage, there is no better way than a trek in the forest. This awesome hike has plenty of great features and really lets you experience the most spectacular fall foliage.

The Wyanokie High Point via Highlands and Wyanokie Crest Trail is an amazing trail to try out in the fall.

Sure, it's steep — but the views make all the huffing and puffing worth it.
Along the way, you'll see multiple waterfalls. That's one of our favorite features of the hike!
