Jun 21, 2016 — Reaching Tripod Rock, a very cool feature where a massive boulder sits atop three smaller ones, can be achieved via quite a few trails using the very good trail system in Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area. I chose to ascend via the Mennen Trail, got a nice view at Lucy's Overlook, and proceeded to Tripod Rock. On the way back I opted to make the hike into a loop and followed the Orange Blaze Trail. You can form any number of loops using the well-marked trails to explore this great little park in New Jersey.

It's very cool.

I created a loop from Tripod Rock, and headed back through the forest to the trailhead.
