Autumn is a beautiful time in New Jersey with cooler crisp weather and turning colors. A great time to get out and enjoy the Garden State. I love "fall" and it's our time to really enjoy the outdoors without the blazing temps, humidity, and bugs of summer lol. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy summer, but I enjoy the "change" in seasons. By the end of summer, I'm ready for the change and ready to get back to hiking and visiting new towns, and attending the many "fall" festivals that happen around New Jersey. Not to mention Halloween and football.

In a recent Visitnj.org article, they gave their list of "Best Fall Getaways in New Jersey: Destinations" The post gave their picks for great places to go this fall in Jersey. One of the spots chosen is right here in Monmouth County.

LOOK: Stunning vintage photos capture the beauty of America's national parks

Today these parks are located throughout the country in 25 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The land encompassing them was either purchased or donated, though much of it had been inhabited by native people for thousands of years before the founding of the United States. These areas are protected and revered as educational resources about the natural world, and as spaces for exploration.
