This tour plan inmidst of tranquility ridge is not impressing with buildings or great
attractions but with tranquility and wildlife peace. This peace of nature is the neigbourhood of world headquarter to the west.
This virtual hiking tour starts in the south-west of the new worldheadquarter. From the Longpond- side we start our trailtramp through a silent forest and watch the Tranquility wildlife while we tailtramp to the wetland, Beech Brook and perhaps the sandy beach lake. Returning we could climb up the beech mountain to get this beautiful view to northeast over the Ridge, the wet land and Beech Brook. The Blue lake lies between the ridges in behind.
From big „beech mountain“ we look over „Beech brook“ where lies the border between the states New york and New Yersey. We are on New Yersey side.

The wetland.
Quote: The bucolic and aptly named Tranquility Ridge, is 2,110-acres of unspoiled woodlands located in the highlands communities of West Milford and Ringwood. Passaic County was able to preserve this property after the county purchased it from the Sterling Corporation. Tranquility Ridge was originally part of the Sterling Forest tract that was being slated for development.
Tranquility Ridge is perfect for hikers who enjoy the getting back to nature, and the peace and quiet of the deep forest.Beech Brook
In the distance you would see the Little Cedar Pond inmidst the Sterling Forest.
After this tour we relax at the Sheppard Pond (SE of Headquarters)
