Scenery  

Ride through the scenic back roads of Morris, Sussex and Warren Counties on this 50 mile run. Some of the sights you'll pass as you take this route include Jenny Jump Forest. You will travel alongside farms, historic cemeteries and as you pass through Blairstown (home to the filming set of Friday the 13th) you'll skirt past Shades of Death Road. This route is beautiful in the fall as foliage changes and we enjoyed the route and know you will too.

Road Quality  

2 lane back roads with few lights. Speed limit 20 to 50. Some twists, hills and nice flats. Four lights tops.

Roadside Amenities  

Stop at Jenny Jump or Skylands Ball Park. Pub 517 is tops for steaks and clams - reasonable price and very biker friendly. Enjoy.
