US State Highpointing: Jersey High Point, highest point in New Jersey

Located in the portion of the state known as the Skylands, High Point is the highest elevation in the state, with a peak elevation of 1,803 feet. The closest city is Port Jervis, New York, which is northwest. Besides being the highest peak in New Jersey, High Point is also the highest peak of the Kittatinny Mountains. Three states (New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania) can be seen from the summit. At the peak is the High Point Monument, a 220-foot obelisk, built as a war memorial. The Monument on High Point was built by Kuser to honor war veterans. Master mason Michael Maddaluna began construction of the 220-foot tower in 1928 and completed it in 1930. The Monument has 291 steps from the base to the highest viewing platform.
The sun was shining but the wind was whipping as we made our way to the summit. Check out this weeks video to see the top New Jersey!
