NJ.com: N.J. climbers explore lesser-known mountains, hard-to-reach peaks
| Hiking the peaks over 1000 feet in New Jersey |
Pochunk Mountain and Ilgenstein Rock don’t have quite the same mystique as K2 or Kilimanjaro, but the New Jersey 1K Club’s aim is to conquer the Garden State’s loftiest peaks, all 52 that rise more than 1,000 feet above sea level. Five of the peaks aren’t even mountains per se — they’re called hills — and one of the more modest, Guerin Benchmark in Randolph, is about a five-minute jaunt from the parking lot. The list doesn’t include “developed” mountains, those with houses on them. After all, it isn’t much of a thrill (and it is illegal) to summit via someone’s backyard.
