About This Trail

The 2.4 miles roll continuously through 4 distinct climbs, adding up to 462 ft of gain without one dominant ascent. The main climb starts around mile 1.4 and runs 1.0 miles, gaining 190 ft at an average 3.5%. The steepest sustained pitch averages 15% and begins just past mile 0.98. You finish 200 ft above the start, so the return trip runs mostly downhill.

The High Bridge Branch is a branch line that was operated by the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ). As built, the branch started in High Bridge, New Jersey at a connection with the CNJ main line and continued north to iron-ore mines in Morris County. The High Bridge Branch line followed the South Branch Raritan River for much of its length.
