Emma Colley's Random Travels


A Photoblog post of my random travels.

These are some photos from our hike on the McDade Trail in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. This trail parallels the Delaware River for 32 miles. the trail provides views of the river, forest and farm fields. We only hiked for a few miles round trip. My photos are some of the scenery we saw during our hike on June 29th.























I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

Emma Colley's Random Travels

A Photoblog post of my random travels.


Advice from a waterfall: Go with the flow, roar with excitement, let your cares fall away, create your own music, immerse yourself in nature, stay active, make a splash.

I am sharing some more of the waterfalls we visited in the Delaware Watergap area. The first three are from the Resica Fall, a Scout reservation but the public is allowed to visit the falls.




A short walk from the parking leads you to some good view of Resica Falls.




The next series of waterfalls are found at the George W. Childs Park. The trail is a 1. 4 mile loop with some bridges crossing the water. Passing several waterfalls along the way.

This is the first waterfall you see on the trail, it is called the Factory Falls.


The second waterfalls was called Fulmer Falls.


The third waterfall was called Deer Leap Falls.









These are the last of the waterfalls we saw while visiting Delaware WaterGap.

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way and not starting." Buddha



We came across this private park while riding around looking for a nearby lake in Delaware Watergap, Pennsylvania. It kind of reminded me of a little Stonehenge. It is a spiritual sanctuary. There are hiking trails and little places to sit, relax  and meditate if you want. Cool megaliths are a magical experience. It was built and inspired by the isle of Iona off the coast of Scotland.

Emma Colley's Random Travels

A Photoblog post of my random travels.


Recently, hubby and I went on a road trip to north western Pennsylvania. There were a couple of state parks that we wanted to visit and we also had a chance to meet Linda of The beauty around us. It was fun meeting Linda for the first time and also to see the parks. I have been following her blog since 2009. The link above shows our visit together too.

First we visited the Cook Forest State Park, it is known for an old growth forest of Pine trees and Hemlock trees. Below is the swinging bridge we crossed while walking on one of the many trails in the park.


A wooly bear caterpillar, fall colored leaves, mushrooms and the trail.


The Longfellow Trail








We met blogging friend Linda at the Kinzua Bridge State Park, this was not our first time visiting this park. When our son was little we took him on a train ride that went across this famous bridge. The mosaic below are scene from the visitor center and a few of the bridge.


Mosaic show the bridge which was destroyed by a tornado in 2003. You can see the bridge ruins still laying on the ground where the tornado left them.

Dingmans Falls is a national park located in the Delaware Watergap, Pennsylvania.


The boardwalk to the waterfalls starts out close to the visitor center. It is an easy 1.2 mile walk to two waterfalls.


The Silver Thread Falls is the first waterfall you see along the walk.


The boardwalk trail to the waterfalls  is an easy very flat walk.


Above is the Dingmans Falls, the boardwalk trail took us right to the bottom and had benches to sit and watch the falls. If you want to see the top of the falls, the trail continues up the steps.


Here is the top of the falls, in the top right corner you can see the boardwalk and benches below.




The water curved some neat formations in the cliff walls near the top of the waterfall.


Back tracking on the trail and to the parking lot, we passed by the Silver Thread Falls again. This was just the start of our day, we visited a few more waterfalls I will share on another post.

"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."  Henry Miller


Hello, hubby and I went on a short trip to Stroudsburg Pennsylvania and the Delaware Watergap.  I learned about this area from Linda's blog Beauty around Us. Linda posted about the waterfalls  she visited, soon after hubby and I planned our trip.

This is Bushkill Falls, lots of steps and a network of boardwalks. Trails can be as long as 15 minutes to a 2 hour walk.
