Hotels in North Jersey, United States
North Jersey sits just across the Hudson River from New York City, with a climate that swings from hot, humid summers (often 85°F/29°C) to cold, snowy winters (down to 20°F/-7°C). It's famous for the Palisades cliffs-those dramatic basalt rock faces rising 500 feet above the river-and for being a gateway to the Appalachian Trail. In summer, you can hike the Palisades Interstate Park's 30 miles of trails or swim at Sandy Hook's ocean beaches; in winter, hit the slopes at Mountain Creek in Vernon (about 45 minutes away) for skiing and snowboarding. The best time to visit? Spring for wildflowers along the Paterson Great Falls, or autumn for leaf-peeping on the Skyline Drive. Ever tried kayaking on the Ramapo River, or explored the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange?
