Everyone knows it’s crucial to work out both your mind and your body. But did you know there’s a place in New Jersey where you can do both at the same time?

We’re of course talking about Morristown National Historic Park. The park has historical significance to New Jersey and the United States as a whole, but also offers amazing hiking trails. Here’s one trail in particular we love:

The Orange/Blue Patriots Path and Grand Loop Trail isn't just a nice, enjoyable hike --it's also a learning opportunity.

It's the sites where General Washington and the Continental army placed a winter encampment of December 1779 to June 1780, where they survived through what would be the coldest winter on record. The park's website describes it as "where America survived."
There are plenty of educational plaques along the way so you can understand what you're looking at.
