New Jersey Savvy Living Magazine Features Skytop Lodge

Skytop Lodge has been featured in New Jersey Savvy Living magazine as one of the top three drive destinations for New Jersey residents.  Wow, we are honored and pleased to be featured in this discerning magazine.  The article entitled; Summer Escapes: Three Drive-To Destinations, was penned by travel editor Judi Rothenberg, who captured the very essence of Skytop Lodge — Fresh -Air and Family Fun.

Rothenberg, like President Obama who recently proclaimed the month of June as Great Outdoors Month, understands the importance of fresh air and family fun. Mom’s have known for decades that playing in the great outdoors has so many benefits from increased physical activity, an appreciation of nature, and of course the great outdoors is the perfect place for reflection and quietude.

Skytop is one of the last great places that offers it all; from wide open spaces — 5,500 acres, to meditative waterfalls and slow-moving streams, to heart-pumping action, paintball, rock-climbing, dog-sledding, vista mountain hikes and more.  Here are a few tips for a delightful romp in mother nature:

1. Keep a safe distance from all wild animals.

2. Don’t eat any plant life unless you have a guide (John Serrao, Skytop’s onsite naturalist does a nature walk and points out many edible berries and plants).

3. Wear shoes that are comfortable.

4. Layer your clothes as the mountains are cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon and then cool again at night.

5. Bring bug spray and why not opt for a natural bug repellent. Check out The Daily Green as it offers great choices.

So what are you waiting for, shut down the computer and go outside and play. Oh yeah don’t forget to bring the kids!
