NJ1K Peaks List

Created, compiled and researched by Eric Koppel and Jeff Bennett

There are 52 peaks in New Jersey whose elevation exceeds 1000 feet. This list may not seem very impressive and some peaks are fairly tame but don't sell New Jersey short! Some of these are bushwhacks that rival some of the CHH peaks in difficulty with their share of thorns and blowdown. Others have trails and wonderful views of the countryside that surrounds them. New Jersey is steeped in history and the land surrounding these peaks is too. Most of these mountains are in northern and north central New Jersey with ALL being located in Passaic, Sussex, Warren, Bergen and Morris counties. Most are part of the Kittatinnies, New Jersey Highlands or the Ramapos. Have fun if you decide to do the list. It is relatively new and only five people have completed it so far!

As always RESPECT ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. This can be confusing in New Jersey where public property and private property often lie close together. Don't be afraid to ask for permission but when it doubt TURN BACK!
