There are plenty of adventures to be had out there, and they all start with just a few steps. If you’re looking for things to do after consuming that involve getting up and walking about, you’re in luck — Boonton and the surrounding area in New Jersey have plenty of options for everyone. Here are 10 of our favorite things to do when walking while high, each of which could lead to a memory to last a lifetime.
Take a nature hike
One of our favorite things to do after consuming is to take a long, slow nature hike. Appreciating the beauty of Mother Nature is always a great post-sesh activity, especially in the fall when winter is on its way but not quite here just yet.
There are some great hiking opportunities near Boonton, so you won’t have to go far to hit the trails after picking up products at Boone Town Dispensary. The Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area features some great trails, including the laid-back Taylortown Reservoir loop via Tripod Rock, as well as the equally chill Lake Valhalla Overlook loop.
If you’re looking for something more challenging, you won’t have to go far. The Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area is also home to intermediate trails like the Pyramid Mountain Loop and Turkey Mountain Loop.
Flex your photography skills
Whether you prefer strolling in nature or about town, bringing a camera along with you and capturing photographs is the perfect opportunity for a creative walk after your next session. Who knows what will catch your eye, especially if you choose a creativity-boosting strain of cannabis.
Try mixing up different types of subjects each time you set out for new, exciting experiences. You may even end up finding your next photojournalism project while wandering about. In Boonton, we recommend checking out the Boonton Falls if you’re interested in capturing the natural beauty the town has to offer.
Browse local shops
When you want to leave the house but aren’t sure where to go, try taking a walk about town and popping into some local shops you haven’t explored before. Oftentimes, even if you’re not looking to buy anything, you may come across something unexpected or have a memorable interaction.
Head out without much of an agenda and just spend some time perusing through local, independent stores to see what you can find. Take yourself to the Boonton Historic District to explore shops like Gemtuitive Crystals & Arts, Highlander Games, and Hidden Tracks Records.
Visit a museum or take a walking tour
If you’re itching to learn something new on your stroll, consider visiting a museum. Whether art is your thing or you prefer history, museums offer enticing educational opportunities while you stretch your legs.
If you want to embark on a museum trip or tour after visiting Boone Town Provisions, you’re in luck — Boonton, NJ is home to some seriously interesting history. Boonton served as a stop on the Underground Railroad and has a long history as a town of abolitionists. Learn more about our hometown at the Boonton Historical Society, which has a museum open to the public on the first and third Sunday of every month.
You can also take a walk along Boonton’s Main Street, which evolved from historic trolley cars and vaudeville theaters to a modern downtown that still features relics of the past in its many antique stores.
Stroll through a park
There’s nothing quite like a relaxing walk through a park after consuming your favorite cannabis product. In the autumn, you can appreciate the cool, crisp air and watch the leaves change, while still enjoying the last of the nice weather before winter arrives.
In Boonton, NJ, spots like Grace Lord Park, which features a gorgeous fountain and gazebo, are wonderfully peaceful for an after-sesh stroll. If you’re looking for a chance to play a game like horseshoes or Bocce, you can visit Canal Side Park, which offers plenty of recreation opportunities.
Go bird-watching
If cannabis makes you feel free as a bird, a good way to enjoy your high is to get outdoors and try to spot some of the winged friends in your area. Morris County is home to a great variety of birds, thanks to its proximity to the shore and nearby woodlands. Any birder can find a wide range of species in just a short walk. So, next time a sesh leaves you feeling weightless and free, it might be a good chance to grab your binoculars and check out the local avian population. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch an American Goldfinch before it migrates for the winter.
Try foraging for seasonal finds
Autumn is a great time to find beautiful fallen leaves, acorns, pinecones, and other forageable favorites. Whether you just like finding the ideal specimen or you have an art project in mind, getting outdoors after a sesh and searching for these autumnal accouterments can be a great way to get some fresh air and stretch your legs. You don’t even need to go off the beaten path if you don’t want to — some of Boonton’s local parks are a great place for seasonal foraging.
Enjoy stargazing at night
Cannabis is often a great tool for putting things in perspective, and there’s no way to appreciate a new perspective quite like stargazing. The two taken together can be a truly breathtaking experience, so we recommend spending an evening after indulging in your favorite cannabis product to enjoy the splendor of the Milky Way galaxy.
If you want to get up close and personal with some of the stars, grab a telescope and bring it along with you. But even taking a stroll to a dark and quiet area and gazing up at the dazzling night sky with the naked eye can be plenty rewarding.
Walk by water
You don’t need to live close to the shoreline to enjoy a walk along serene, calm water. There’s nothing quite like appreciating the stillness of a lake or the rushing of a river, providing a meditative soundtrack to a peaceful stroll. You may be able to enjoy a stroll around the Boonton Reservoir, as plans to create a walking loop there are currently underway. Other nearby strolls with water features include the Taylortown Reservoir Trail at the Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area and the Mountain Lakes Boulevard Walking Path, which ends in the Boonton Falls area.
Attend a farmers’ market
If you’re looking for fresh ingredients while you stretch your legs, you can always attend a local farmers’ market. There are plenty of wonderful farmers’ markets in Morris County, including one on Main Street right in Boonton every Saturday from June until November. If you’re getting a case of the munchies after a session, there’s no better place to go for some of the freshest ingredients and foodstuffs. Best of all, you’ll be supporting local, independent farmers with every purchase!
