I climbed the same mountain twice this summer and early fall.

Norvin Green State Forest is a large forest located in Passaic County, New Jersey.
It is a popular hiking destination with numerous trails, viewpoints, waterfalls, and reservoirs.
If the weather is clear, from the top Manhattan skyline<\/strong>It's a place where you can see up to ! \ud83c\udfd9\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • time taken:<\/strong> About 3 hours and 30 minutes (skip the waterfall area due to drought and take a detour)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The Otter course is better than the Weis Center. It's steep and long, but<\/strong>
      The forest was thick and shady, and the cool breeze was nice.
      The sound of the wind and \ud83c\udf42 The sound of fallen leaves<\/strong>It feels cool in my ears
      I could feel the calming energy of the forest with my whole body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But this summer is a drought Chikahoki Falls<\/strong>was completely dry
      View from near the summit Clyde Potts Reservoir<\/strong>do
      I was worried because the water level was very low.
      The thought came to me, "I want it to rain soon so I can see the waterfall flowing again." \ud83c\udf27\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The Weis Center course was easy to walk because it was a gentle slope.
        Appearing here and there large rocks<\/strong> Thanks to that, there were many viewpoints.
        I saw it in Korea Balanced rock<\/strong> Also see,
        I walked among the pine trees, smelling the pine scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Then, halfway up the mountain really big mushrooms<\/strong>I found one. \ud83c\udf44
        My mood suddenly improved.
        It was as if I had discovered ginseng in the mountains and wanted to shout, \u201cI found it!\u201d
        One small discovery doubled the joy of hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        As we reached the top, the view was refreshingly clear on all sides.

        Greenwood Lake and the surrounding mountain ranges came into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Around the top there is \ud83e\udd8b Butterflies are flying<\/strong>,
        A large bird (which looked like an albatross) was also seen in the distance.
        As I sat on the rock and felt the wind, all my fatigue seemed to disappear.
        The world below seemed peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        At that moment, suddenly,
        Because pine trees and large rocks protect the mountain
        It seems like this peace will last<\/strong>I had a thought.
        Rain or shine, storm or drought
        They seemed like sturdy guardians silently holding on to this mountain so it wouldn't collapse. \ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udc3e The story of the lost man and the big dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        When I came down to Otter Hole, I met a man with a very large dog.
        I was completely lost and wandering around,
        It seemed difficult to call an Uber because there was a large dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        It was a hot day and the dog was panting with its tongue sticking out \ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udca6
        When I saw that sight, I couldn't just pass it by because it reminded me of my cat at home.
        Eventually, I put him in the car and drove him to the Weis Center.
        It was a really good thing because it was a distance that would take more than two hours to walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        A few days later, when we came down from Weis Center,
        really The fork in the road is quite confusing.<\/strong>I found out.
        \u201cOh, so he didn\u2019t take the wrong path for no reason,\u201d I thought, and understood.
        I thought that if we had let our guard down even just a little, we might have come down towards Otter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • The AllTrails app is essential as there are areas where the maps are not updated.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Otter Hole parking fills up quickly \u2192 Early morning arrival recommended<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Bring plenty of water\ud83e\udd64, hiking boots\ud83e\udd7e, and mosquito repellent<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • After the rain, the sound of the waterfall, the sound of the stream, and the scenery of the reservoir are much better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          \u2764\ufe0f Finishing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Even if you climb the same peak, you can have a completely different experience if you climb it using a different course.
          Otter Hole has the charm of a forest adventure,
          Weis Center is impressive with its large rock views and cool views.
          Next time, I want to try the loop course that leads to Osio Rock.
          And after the rain, I want to come back again to see the flowing waterfall and the full reservoir. \ud83c\udf27\ufe0f\u2728<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
