The route starts at roughly 1,246 feet and climbs to a high point of 1,288 feet, with the steepest stretch at about half a mile in, where the grade reaches 9 percent. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with temperatures on the mountain running cooler than those figures because the station sits about 500 feet lower.

Paddlers can reach the Pequannock River about 4.4 miles off, and Lake Hopatcong is about 8.8 miles away.
