It runs along the northwestern border of the state, following the ridge of the Kittatinny Mountains for about 40 miles. The trail then turns east at High Point State Park, and after some distance crosses into New York. For much of its length in New Jersey the Appalachian Trail is on state park and state forest lands. Terrain is hilly to mountainous, with some sections quite rocky. Fine views are available from the Kittatinny Mountain ridge. Difficulty varies from easy to moderately strenuous.
