The Summer of 2017 saw me and Ben knock out quite a few highpoints in New England. From a sidewalk near the Delaware/Pennsylvania border, to a cool summit in New Hampshire, to just missing the Vermont Highpoint and having to settle for Ben and Jerry’s to a visit to Maine to our last highpoint of the trip, Highpoint, New Jersey, it made for a great summer vacation.

I’ll be honest. I didn’t have high hopes for the New Jersey highpoint. All I thought of when I thought of New Jersey were Enzo and Cass, fist pumping, and not pumping my own gas. I didn’t research this highpoint much. I had no idea before going there that the Appalachian Trail ran through New Jersey, much less this highpoint.

Apparently, I had New Jersey all wrong.
