Sand-dusted barrier island, Long Beach, sits just off the New Jersey shore, a quiet place for most of the year but ever in demand come summer sunshine.
Dog Canyon is one of the more remote areas of the park and is on its very northern edge. The canyon is a quiet, forested cleft in the rock at an elevation of 6,300 feet. Several trails explore the canyon, from the short and nearly level Indian Meadow Nature Trail, to the moderate Marcus Overlook, which stops just before a too-steep descent into West Dog Canyon. Lost Peak is a little tougher and longer, a half-day hike up the mountain.
