Hiking
Father’s Day meant a quick hike at Hacklebarney State Park in Long Valley, NJ before family time. The park was loaded with people hiking and picnicking with their dads. It reminded me of all my childhood hikes with mom and dad (and sister, when she joined the pack).
I need to get them out into the woods again soon.

Pyramid Mountain
On Sunday, I hit the trails with my mom and Denali to check out Tripod Rock at Pyramid Mountain.
Tripod Rock is a glacial erratic boulder, estimated to be approximately 127 metric tons. It sits balanced on three smaller stones, as it was originally transported to the spot by a glacier.
Aside from the rocks, we crossed paths with two garter snakes and a couple toads. Other hikers warned us about a pair of bears in the area, but we didn’t see them.
All in all, a great weekend of hikes. Can’t wait to see where next weekend takes us!
