The Tourne is a classic hike for anyone in Denville/Boonton/Mountain Lakes. It's my favorite "social hike" in my area. It's a quick hike to a scenic view of of the valleys and hills of Morris County and Manhattan out in the distance. From the parking lot you hop on the red trail, and take the first left onto the yellow trail and follow that up to the top of the Tourne.

From the overlook, you then continue to follow the yellow trail back down the mountain, and then at the bottom turn right where the red trail joins the yellow trail and follow it back up and veer left to stay on the red trail to the parking lot.
