The Eagle Rock Yellow and Red Trail Loop in Montclair, New Jersey is a moderate difficulty hiking trail. Spanning approximately 1.33 miles, the trail offers a variety of terrain, including forested areas, rocky inclines, and open fields. The trail is marked by yellow and red blazes, making it easy to follow. One of the key features of this trail is the Eagle Rock, a large, prominent rock formation that provides panoramic views of the surrounding area. The trail also passes by a small lake, providing opportunities for bird watching and wildlife spotting. Hikers should be prepared for some steep sections, particularly near the Eagle Rock. Proper footwear is recommended due to the rocky terrain. The trail is open year-round, but can be particularly beautiful in the fall when the leaves change color. Despite its moderate difficulty, the trail is suitable for all skill levels, making it a popular choice for locals and visitors alike. In terms of amenities, there are restrooms and picnic areas at the trailhead. There are also several other trails in the area for those looking to extend their hike.

So, if you are one of the millions of people visiting wouldn't you want to get some photos of the entire skyline to post on social media and show friend & family? Skip the boat and helicopter tour lines (although a cool experience, but pricey) and head over to JFK Boulevard East in Weehawken/West New York, NJ for jaw dropping vi...
Hike Pyramid Mountain to Tripod Rock
This is a fun hike that is great for the entire family. The trails are really well maintained and Tripod Rock is a pretty amazing feature to check out. You can hike to the rock and follow your steps back to the parking lot for a 3 mile round trip or continue along the trail for a 4.4 mile loop. It's mostly flat with some mild elevation, nothing that kids can't handle. There are two really nice ...

This easy-access run is best done in the early morning or early evening, to avoid pedestrian traffic and too much sun. Keep an eye out for cyclists who may share the road at certain sections.

There are access points from multiple s...
