High Point State Park
Just southeast of Port Jervis, NY lies the highest point in New Jersey: High Point. The Appalachian Trail runs right near High Point (1803' above sea level), which is also the highest peak in the Kittatinny Mountains! From the top you can see three states: New York, Pennsylvania, and of course New Jersey.
I'm not going to reinvent the wheel, so you can read about High Point on Wikipedia!

It was cold and windy up there, so we took a few photos and then took off for Port Jervis. We went to Len & Jo's and had some delicious pizza. So many cheeses! Along the way we stopped for a photo of the "Oldest Church".

And what would Port Jervis be without some cool trains?
