Chris and Reid pointing to the "Sunfish Pond" sign after a 4 mile hike up! This hike was in one of our favorite places to hike here, the Delaware Water Gap (along the Delaware River which separates NJ from PA). It is the place that most reminds us of hiking back home.
Reid and I enjoying a lunch stop at Sunfish Pond before the 4mile hike back. Watch out for snakes on this hike!
Our happy little hiker! (and no, he did not hike the whole 8 miles, but part of it!) Chris lugged him in the backpack, however probably our last season Reid will fit in it. :(
Love the spring green trail!
An after hike daddy 'n Reid snuggle.
Next hike: Palisades Park along the Hudson (separating NJ from NY) at Peanut Falls and Giant Stairs. We had a really steep hike down.
Along the Hudson, just beginning a few miles of boulder climbing aka. "The Giant Stairs" after Peanut Falls.
Riverside, Hudson, NJ
Amidst the "Giant Stairs" boulder climb! I had it easy compared to Chris!
Another hike along the Del Water Gap..."Three Mountain ponds" this is the hike where we unfortunately learned about ticks in the warm spring/summer weather. :( Not an issue on our fall/winter hikes here!
One of the "three mountain ponds" in which we stopped for lunch. There was a black bear sighting while we were hiking in this area!
Moving along to the Merrill Creek Reservoir for a 7 mile hike around. (Unfortunately another "tick hike" as we call it...really don't even get me started on those nasty little suckers!)
We went with one of our favorite families on our block in NJ and here are all "the boys".
Lots of deer on this hike!
Cool tree line.
Reid and Chris with the Chaikin Family.
Chris and I with all "the boys".
We do love to hike and we'll find it wherever we go! However we do miss the "real mountains" of back home, but we'll always make the best of it. :) See you next time!
