Nice big park, etc. in North Jersey to see Fall Colors?

I've been driving through South Mountain Reservation in West Orange to visit someone at Kessler and it is so beautiful there right now. So much orange and red. If you could get there quick, like within the next week, then I would go there. It's stunning.

I took this picture 2 weeks ago in Holmdel Park. I'm sure it's more vibrant now.

If that is too far, then you would probably like walking around Jockey Hollow, in The Morristown National Historical Park.

I love Jockey Hollow!

Ringwood is wonderful. I love Skylands and Ringwood Manor.

The area is so beautiful.

Nice views of New York, too.

Thanks for agreeing with me!

I also think that Allaire State Park is beautiful. Especially Allaire Village if you are into history.
