Back again with another blog post from my past trip to the Poconos. This time I will be featuring an awesome location, Shohola Falls. The falls are easily accessible and there are so many areas to play around with different compositions. The falls begin from a nearby dam and then runs over large boulders but also has…
On the same day I visited George W. Childs Recreation Area and Dingmans Falls the weather cleared up so my parents, my son and I went for a nice walk of Bushkill Falls. We were sad that my wife had to go home early but glad because she would have been doing laps around us through Bushkill. There are…
The morning I visited George W. Childs Recreation Area was a busy day. I also visited Dingmans Falls afterwards and later in the day the family and I went to Bushkill Falls. Dingmans Falls has a nice visitors center and the entire trail is handicapped accessible. Besides Dingmans Falls the area is also home to…
One the third day of our Poconos Trip we were greeted with more rain. I decided on going to George W. Childs Recreation Site. This location is a former Pennsylvania state park and then was taken over by the National Park Service (NPS). The trails are well maintained and the entire area looked like it was really…
My next adventure during out Poconos vacation was at Raymondskill Falls. These falls are the tallest within Pennsylvania and measure approximately four feet shorter than Niagara. This height can be deceiving though because the falls are broken up into three separate drops. The first two sections have easily accessible trails and the down hill portions include stairs…

The Delaware Water Gap, a 70,000 acre national park, is partially located just north of where we stayed and is the home of…
This past Sunday, October 27th, I made an early morning visit to the Great Falls National Park located in Virginia. The falls are able to be seen from both the Maryland side of the Potomac River but the Virginia is much more photogenic. I woke up around 4:00 AM and headed out hoping to arrive…
This past Monday, October 14th, I took a day off from work and made a trip up to Red Rock, PA and hiked through Ricketts Glen State Park. I haven’t been to the park since my childhood years when my family would take our pop-up camper to various locations throughout the Northeastern United States. I…
This past Sunday I drove down to Holtwood, PA and visited Tucquan Glen. Tucquan Glen is one of near 30 preserves maintained by the Lancaster County Conservancy. There are three main trails, each slightly more than a mile long, that follow the Tucquan Creek from River Road to the Susquehanna River. The area is beautiful…
