DIRECTIONS: Mountainside Park is a Morris County Park in northern Morris
County, New Jersey. From Interstate 287 get off at Route 23 heading south.
Just before the first light turn right and keep bearing right onto West
Parkway for about 1/2 mile to the first intersection with a 4-way stop. Turn
right onto Mountain Avenue, which will pass under Interstate 287. Once you
pass under the bridge the park is immediately on your right. Park your car
along the right side of the road. If you come to a no trespassing sign,
you've gone too far. Note, you will probably not see any signs saying you
are at Mountainside Park. Alternately, from Route 23 North in Pompton Plains,
take 511 ALT to make a U-turn onto Route 23 South and follow the directions
above.

Look for Green Acres signs on trees.
Search along roadside for sky blue blaze trail.
Once sky blue blazes are located start out on trail.
Take dark blue blaze trail.
Blazes will start to alternate from dark to sky blue in no specific order,
stay on trail.
At second campfire take unmarked path to the right.
Take 22 paces along unmarked trail.
Stop at tree with fading white paint on it.
