 | | The tour turned off Odgen onto Mountain Road, which angles down the Palisades in hairpin turns, passing beneath an old coffin factory - now apartments - and down to Paterson Plank Road, where the Koven Stove Works once built stoves that heated residences from the late 19th into the early 20th century. |
 | | Mountain Road was originally built with cobblestones, and during paving work a few years ago, caves were found beneath - including some that had been utilized by a brewery for storage, Gomez said. |
 | | The group then braved traffic and crossed Paterson Plank Road, once an American Indian trail that ran to the Hackensack River, Gomez said, describing how Lenape Indians would canoe across the river and continue as far as Paterson. |
