But most of the trail is on mountain tops and most of the water you will see will be far away in a stream or pond in the valley. A canteen doesn't due the thirst much good if it's empty and you are on a mountain top. Fill it whenever possible. Finally, bring binoculars and a camera if you own them. Our trail follows the highest ridges of the Kittatinny Mountains and the views are breathtaking.
Wildlife is abundant, too.
If you are interested in birds, bring along a bird recognition booklet. You will see plenty of hawks and eagles and those denizens of the trail, the little Towhee. The New Jersey section runs from High Point State Park at Route 23 in the very northern-most corner of the state down to the Delaware Water Gap where it enters Pennsylvania. The ridges of the Kittatinny Mountains run parallel to the Delaware River to the west. Any good road map of New Jersey will show the trail, usually as a dotted line.
