Delaware Water Gap, Van Campens Glen, January 8, 2022

Delaware Water Gap, Van Campens Glen, January 8, 2022

Beautiful day to hike Van Campens Glen on the New Jersey side of the Delaware Water Gap. Old Mine Road is now closed for the season, so we parked near Millbrook Village and walked in about a mile or so to the upper glen. Very pretty hike with waterfalls along the way. Falls were not frozen yet and the snow on the trail was still pretty soft since it hadn’t been packed down yet by other hikers. It was pretty cold out there today. Finally starting to feel more like winter.

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.
