The Wedding Letterbox
Pyramid Mountain Natural Historical Area
Planted 11/09/07 by Wingfoot & Angelfoot
Montville, Morris County, New Jersey
Clues: Easy
Terrain: Fairly Easy
Time: 45 minutes
This series can be done in conjunction with the Pyramid & Turkey Mountain series.
Please be discreet, as some areas of this park are heavily traveled.
Established after a lengthy grassroots effort to preserve the area from development, the Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area is over a thousand acres of open space rich in natural and historical resources.
The broad mountains, flat-topped ridges and narrow valleys of Pyramid Mountain are not only beautiful but also vital in feeding downstream reservoirs, supplying needed aquifers and supporting flora and fauna. The wide variety of natural habitats found within Pyramid Mountain include fields, forests, streams, swamps, and ponds, which support a number of plants considered uncommon to New Jersey as well as threatened and endangered plants and animals. Bears, snakes, foxes, and bobcats have all been seen in the park.
Historically, Pyramid Mountain is important for its lessons about the Lenape Indians, who flourished in this area, and the early European settlers, who came to the area to take advantage of its rich natural resources.
