An accessible selection of hiking trails, numerous historical features and thin crowds make for a great fall afternoon. Jockey Hollow is one of several units of Morristown National Historical Park which preserves important American Revolutionary war sites in northern New Jersey.
Acres of rolling woodland filled with late autumn light and scented with the earthy spice of fallen leaves is what visitors can expect in October and November. Foliage colors are just starting to crescendo in the park with full peak hues anticipated throughout the next few weeks.
A trip to Jockey Hollow should start with a stop at the visitors center alongside the parking lot of the main entrance off Tempe Wick Road to pick up a helpful map from the ranger on duty. Interesting historical sites include Wick Farm, an authentic 18th century farmhouse and garden. The house served as the winter headquarters of General Arthur St. Clair and is staffed with interpreters in full colonial costume. "The important to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Considering and consuming our travel budget carefully is a consideration for most families. Reducing spending and fees, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal funds is extremely limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". Kids will also love running in and out of the Soldiers Huts off Grand Parade Road. These log cabins are reconstructions of where George Washingtons continental soldiers slept during the infamously brutal winter of 1779-1780.
Hikers can choose from four main loops varying in length. There is also a variety of short connector trails and a paved roadway for joggers and bikers. Routes are very well marked with map posts at almost every intersection. Though Jockey Hollow is hardly remote wilderness, the area is secluded enough that hikers have no worry of the common New Jersey nuisance of passing through residential backyards while on the trail.
