We went to the visitors center and walked the childrens trail and maybe .2 of the blue trail. King had a ton of fun. He loved all the displays in the visitors center and we are going to go back once Spring is here.
Located in Kinnelon, New Jersey. Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area
Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic AreaEstablished in 1987, after lengthy grassroots efforts to preserve the area from development, the Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area is more than 1,500 acres of open space rich in natural and historical resources. Visitors to the park enjoy its environmental, natural, geological, and historical diversity.
Easily visible to hikers are the unusual geological attributes of Pyramid Mountain, such as Tripod Rock, a 160-ton boulder balanced atop three smaller rocks, known as a glacial erratic. The broad mountains, flat-topped ridges, and narrow valleys of Pyramid Mountain are not only beautiful, but also vital in feeding downstream reservoirs, supplying needed aquifers, and supporting flora and fauna.
The wide variety of natural habitats found within Pyramid Mountain include fields, forests, streams and ponds, which support a number of plants considered uncommon to New Jersey as well as threatened and endangered plants and animals. Historically, Pyramid Mountain is important for its lessons about the Lenape Indians, who flourished in this area, and the early European settlers, who came to the area to take advantage of its rich natural resources.
