Description: Bearfort Mountain is just one section of the Green Pond Outlier. Bearfort Mountain's summit is hardly distinct, as there are numerous high point candidates but the cliffs surrounding Terrace Pond may as well suffice.

Bearfort Mountain is Passaic County's highest point.

The photograph above was taken from the cliffs surrounding Terrace Pond.
