Wuthering Heights is a fictional location in Emily Brontë’s novel of the same name. The meaning of the word "wuthering" is provided by Mr Lockwood, one of the novel’s two primary narrators: "Wuthering" [is] a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather. Pure, bracing ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed. One may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house, and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun."

With more than 16,000 acres High Point offers superb trails for hikers, quiet spots for campers and anglers, and many year-around activities for the day visitor. Lake Marcia, a 20-acre spring fed natural lake, refreshes swimmers during the hot summer months.

High Point, in the northwestern part of New Jersey in Montague, Sussex County in the Skylands Region, is the highest elevation in the state at 1,803 feet (550 m). At the peak is the High Point Monument, a 220-foot (67 m) obelisk, built in 1930 to commemorate the war dead. The outside is made of New Hampshire granite and also Shawangunk quartz. There are four small windows through which observers have a view of the ridges of the Pocono Mountains toward the west, the Catskill Mountains to the north and the Wallkill River Valley in the southeast. The Monument is an obelisk monument similar to other war monuments, such as the one on Bunker Hill in Massachusetts. Plans were made to close the park as of July 1, 2008 under Gov. Jon Corzine’s budget plan for 2009. Veterans groups, who have held an annual memorial at the site, expressed their opposition to the proposal, which was ultimately removed from the final budget.
