Hidden Valley (New Jersey) - The Mountain

The Mountain

Hidden Valley's summit elevation is 1,435 feet (437 m) above sea level and its base is at 815 feet (248 m), yielding a vertical drop of 620 feet (189 m). The resort has 15 trails - 25% beginner, 30% intermediate, and 45% advanced. The longest trail is Browse Along at three quarters of a mile (1.2 km). There are a total of four lifts: three chairlifts (one triple, 2 doubles) and a surface lift, and the uphill capacity is 3,500 per hour. In 2007 the resort, after years of struggling to compete with the nearby and much larger Mountain Creek, declared bankruptcy and was sold at a sheriff's auction. The new owners are keeping it open.

Famous quotes containing the word mountain:

    I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
    The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
    Of him who walked in glory and in joy
    Following his plough, along the mountain side:
    By our own spirits are we deified:
    We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
    But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    The mountain pushed us off her knees.
    And now her lap is full of trees.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
