At the peak is the High Point Monument, a 220-foot (67 m) obelisk, built in 1930 as a war memorial.

The part of the Delaware River, seen here on its journey, divides Pennsylvania & New York

While New Jersey waves from the other side.

 

We stopped here on our way back from the beautiful Pocono Mountains.  I have lived in New Jersey for over 50 years and I have never been here before.  The experience was exhilarating!!

Here’s a bit of info, in case you ever want to visit 🙂

High Point State Park – High Point, in Montague, Sussex County, New Jersey, in the Skylands Region, is the highest elevation in the state at 1,803 feet (550 m). It is southeast of Port Jervis, New York. High Point is the highest peak of the Kittatinny Mountains. Three states – New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania – can be seen from the top.
