Happy Autumn!

It is a beautiful time to visit High Point State Park.  Summer crowds are gone.  The beach belongs to the ducks.  Blue skies host kettles of migrating birds dancing circles above the Kittatinny Ridge.  Sun dapples chase reflections of colorful trees along the lakes, Marcia, Steenykill, and Sawmill.  The views from the Monument will enchant you with the spirit of autumn.

Let the peaceful grace of nature refresh and renew you.  Our Yoga on the Mountain series continues on Friday, October 14, 5:30 – 6:45 pm, and concludes on Saturday, November 19, 9:30 – 10:45 am.  All levels of experience are welcome to attend.  Please see our Yoga on the Mountain page for more details and registration information.
