Auto Overlook (aka Paterson View) at Garret Mountain Reservation in Paterson, New Jersey is an easy universally accessible 0.1-mile out-and-back trail that features views high above Paterson.
This is not a hike but rather a very short walk that follows a paved and universally-accessible trail. Visitors don't even need to stretch their legs to take in the views of Paterson, hence the name "Auto Overlook"; however, if you're in need of a paved, universal accessible pathway and are looking for a nice view, this trail's for you.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time ๐ฆ, money ๐ฐ, and effort (including espresso shots โ) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) ๐๐. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free ๐
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!๏ธ
