Houvenkopf Mountain is a mountain over Mahwah right near the New Jersey / New York state line. There isn't any network of trails here and there are some rural houses at the mountain in the area. However, I noticed a new trail here on the 2021 Conference Trail map edition and decided to take it. It's a very short, marked trail from Geiger road to the view above Mahwah. The weather was oppressingly hot, so I opted for this very short hike. The view does overlook Mahwah and the Sheraton hotel, but it's a bit overgrown and not a great view. The trail has a circle loop forming a lollipop loop, which I took in its entirety towards the end.
