Geocache Description:

Historically known as High Mountain, this spot has come to be known commonly as Pyramid Mountain. Though local historians wanted the park to be named after High Mountain when it was opened, the county chose to name it after the more commonly used name, Pyramid Mtn.

Whatever the name, there is a great view from the cache site, even though it's marred by recent development on the next hill over. NYC is clearly visible in the distance. I came to this spot on the morning of Sept 11, 2001 to view the destruction in NYC from afar. TimMCPA had a cache here that I had been watching for him since he moved from the area. Not long ago I realized it hadn't received any logs in quite some time, even though nearby caches had been logged frequently in that time. A quick check of the page shows that it had been archived. Since the hiking trail was recently rerouted within 10 feet of the original cache site, I moved this about 150 southeast of the original site. On a nice day you will not be alone here, so please be careful when you have the cache out. Best access is via the blue blazed trail which starts in the parking lot on Boonton Ave.
