Jersey City Connects | Fall Hike (Oct)| Storm King State Park

Join Jersey City Connects for a challenging but rewarding 5.4-mile hike at Storm King Mountain. This loop climbs steeply through forest and rocky terrain before reaching sweeping views along the Bluebird Trail. We’ll summit Butter Hill, the park’s highest point, and descend by the Bypass Trail. Expect steep climbs, scrambles, and panoramic Hudson Valley views that make the effort worthwhile.
