Back again with another blog post from my past trip to the Poconos. This time I will be featuring an awesome location, Shohola Falls.

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.

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…
