Historic NJ lighthouse to host full moon night climbs this fall
It's that time of year when we prepare for the cooler air and crisper nights. It's also a time of year when New Jersey's apples are ripe and ready for picking.
Along with all the fall festivals that happen throughout the Great Garden State, many of our historic lighthouses also host climbs that are perfect for that fall air.
The most famous is New Jersey's annual Lighthouse Challenge which happens every fall. But aside from that, some of our lighthouses are also open at night for a truly unique climbing experience.
One such lighthouse is doing just that for the first time in recent memory. The Twin Lights in Highlands, NJ, will be hosting not one, but two full moon night climbs this fall.
If you've never been to the Twin Lights, it's certainly worth a visit. Here's a quick tour of the lighthouse to get you ready for the climb, followed by details of this year's first-ever full moon climbs in recent memory.
