I decided to try out a trail a bit further from my home base and drove to the Columbia Trail in New Jersey.... the trail starts in the small town of High Bridge and travels 15 miles to Washington Township...
The weather was hot and much of the trail is under a canopy of trees... this old depot is a popular resting spot and on certain days of the month there is a museum inside...
The barn on the left is actually a riding stable and I shared the trail for a bit with riders... I kept my distance so as not to spook the animals...
The trail ends at a major road crossing in Washington Township with nothing more than a small parking area an a place to turn your bike around... on the return trip I stopped for lunch at a trail side cafe... the meal was great and I grabbed two cookies for the road...
All in all the trail is a good ride and I'll absolutely be adding this to my list of regulars...
