This section of the park was fully populated with pine trees prior to Hurricane Sandy. Shrubs and deciduous and coniferous trees are repopulating the area which now lies adjacent to the main parking area for Jonathan’s Woods off of Old Beach Glen Road.

Autumn at Great Bay
 
Denville, New Jersey
 
I had to stand on a flimsy fallen tree to obtain this clear view of the lake. As Ansel Adams noted, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” Overcast skies also dictated adding an extra stop of light to the exposure to emphasize the foliage.

This was my first trek up this part of the Appalachian trail above the Delaware Water Gap. The hike from Camp Mohican was not easy but was not quite as grueling as I had heard.
