The summer is officially here! The sun has heated up the Earth and made for some beautiful, but very hot, weekends! We decided to explore The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and take advantage of one of those sunny days. We took the two hour drive from NYC and our first stop was Bushkill Falls. These falls are on private land, but well worth the entrance fee. They are absolutely beautiful!
We took the Red Trail, which they warn you is for hikers only. We thought it wouldn't be too bad, but it did end up being very steep with a lot of stairs. The trail was enjoyable, it takes you next to each Waterfall and through the woods. There was a very nice stream and beautiful tree covered paths.
Bushkill Falls took us an hour and a half to do the loop. Since we finished a little earlier then we thought we decided to drive to The Delaware Water Gap hike. The hike takes you up steep steps made in the hill side. It is worth it for the view at the top! You could see the river below with tree covered hills! Was so beautiful!
