Mount Minsi Recap

Great first hike of 2020 - good trail, great weather, superb people.  Thanks everyone for joining us!

The good news - I clocked 5.2 miles with 1,130 feet of elevation gain.  The bad news - my net calories by the afternoon was a gain of 200 after that lunch at the Sycamore Grille.

Also of note this the first hike that came in with few miles than expected, we're getting better at this.

The photo album is linked to the right and please contribute if you can.  Or if easier you can send me  directly as well.

Hike #6 - Cliff Park in Milford, PA

"The Cliff Trail offers some of the most spectacular overlook views in the recreation area of the serpentine Delaware River valley from atop the Raymondskill Ridge. This view was so inspiring to early film makers that several westerns were filmed using this magnificent scenery as stand-ins for the landscapes out west. Early 1900s actors Tom Mix, Walter Miller and Mary Pickford are just some of the stars who once stood on these vary cliffs." .... The National Park Service Time has gotten away from us this Autumn, but we're hoping for some good weather for what very well be the last hike of 2017.  On November 18, we'll head to Milford, PA to hike Cliff Park.  Cliff Park has an excellent effort to reward ratio with one large hill and then almost constant views of the cliffs overlooking the Delaware River.   Also within walking distance of the parking area is the largest waterfall in Pennsylvania, Raymondskill Falls (not to mention a lovely pond and Hackers Falls as we...
