Chester (Morris County) is nice. You could also pass through Madison and Morristown, on your way there.

If you're willing to drive out to Hunterdon County, you could hit Clinton, Frenchtown, Lambertville, and maybe even hop over to New Hope, PA.

Beat me to it. I was going to suggest some of those.

Head up route 17 to Ringwood & West Milford, then drive through West Milford to Route 23 into Jefferson and through Morris County. You get a nice look of nature and then into some more developed areas.
