Bowling Green Mountain is a high massif in Morris County with multiple ridges, ravines, and sub-summits branching out from a high point at over 1380'.
Bowling Green's actual summit has limited views towards the West through a long-abandoned chairlift cut, but there is a firetower that offers stunning views of the whole of northern New Jersey. The firetower, officially the Milton Tower, is one of the tallest in New Jersey. From its wind-battered platforms one can see as far away as High Point and New York City, as well as a panoply of nearer mountains. The Milton firetower is east-north-east of the summit, don't miss it!
The chairlift cut you see is a remnant from the old Milton Snow Bowl.

Parked at the Milton Snow Bowl pull off. Hiked up the communications tower road to the true summit and continued on for another .5 mile to see the Milton Fire Tower. Doubled back and headed onto Morris County High Point.

A nice hike up a dirt path. I even saw old buildings, and a cell tower at the top.
