The Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area spreads over 1,600 acres of rugged Highlands ridge and swamp where Kinnelon meets Montville and Boonton Township in Morris County, New Jersey. It is hiking-only — no bikes, no rock climbing — with more than 19 miles of trails managed by the Morris County Park Commission, a visitor center at 472 Boonton Avenue, and a 934-foot high point that, on a clear day, looks east to the Manhattan skyline
