Another day of blue sky and snow. We hiked from the trailhead at the PEEC on the Two Ponds and then the Tumbling Waters trail to make a loop. I guess a lot of people don’t like cold weather in Pennsylvania, because yet again, there was nobody out hiking today. We hiked past the ponds which were all frozen over and down to the waterfall. The sun felt so good when we stopped at the falls to enjoy the scenery. Then we made our way up out of the gorge to enjoy the vista at the top and then looped it back to the trailhead. Didn’t see a another soul out on the trail today.
After hiking in the Adirondacks where it was mostly past peak foliage, we were able to catch the some of the colors spreading south through Northeastern Pennsylvania. We hiked the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area from the trailhead at the Pocono Environmental Education Center. We first took the Two Ponds trail to Tumbling Waters falls, then back to the parking area where we picked up the Ridge Trail that looped us through Scenic Gorge. Some fun, easy rock scrambles on this hike and pretty scenery made for a nice, relaxing day.
