The top is marked by a 220 foot obelisk which makes the point easy to see from the distance. Travelling there is veru easy on nice paved roads, although a parked snowmobile indicated that also here there winter climate might create some difficulties for visiting the highpoint in colder weather. I got lucky though, and apart form some chilling winds it was nice and view were quite impressive.
Many high point have lakes close to the top, and New Jersey was no exception. It's fascinationg to drive or hike sharply uphill only to find that large masses of water made it up there, or perhaps rather down since they fall, while humans will have to climb...
Lastly a mandatory posing picture with the high point in the background.
