The 5 Very Best Places to Hike at the Jersey Shore

Hiking At The Jersey Shore

I love a good hike. I especially love hiking in places I have not visited before; this way, it's a new experience, and you never know what's ahead around each corner of the trail. I think our favorite time to travel (my wife, April, and I) is usually in the fall and spring here in New Jersey. You get less heat and bugs and don't have to deal with snow and Ice.
