New Jersey Motorcycle Roads and Trips

The Garden State has a great amount of scenic diversity for a relatively small US state. Portions of the Appalachian Mountains run through the northern part of the New Jersey (NJ). A notably beautiful area lies along the Hudson River where "the Palisades", a column of rock rises some 500 ft, creates a wall next to the mighty Hudson River.

Chester to Frenchtown (Nov 07)

… take any point along this road for a trek through some of Jersey's best rolling terrain-rivers and streams cross at many points, rock outcroppings, pastures, horse country and various valleys adorn the route. A+ You can't go wrong at ANY point along 513 or what crosses it...go get lost!!
