Everyone knows it’s crucial to work out both your mind and your body. But did you know there’s a place in New Jersey where you can do both at the same time?

We’re of course talking about Morristown National Historic Park. The park has historical significance to New Jersey and the United States as a whole, but also offers amazing hiking trails. Here’s one trail in particular we love:

The Orange/Blue Patriots Path and Grand Loop Trail isn’t just a nice, enjoyable hike –it’s also a learning opportunity.

You’ll wander through several important Revolutionary War sites here.

There are plenty of educational plaques along the way so you can understand what you’re looking at.

Orange/Blue Patriots Path and Grand Loop Trail is an easy hike, too, coming in at just under three miles.

You’ll pass by a pretty river as you walk through this forest, and keep an eye out for interesting wildlife as well.

This is also a hike that is easy to accomplish no matter the season.

Just keep in mind: You can bring your dog but they must be put on a leash!
