A view from the top of the ridge line we were hiking. This is the Delaware Water Gap Valley.

One of the named falls towards the top of the water shed. Wedding Veil Falls.

We had stopped at Bushkill Falls two years ago and it was so crowded that we we didn't stay. This time around it was perfect. Very few folks there and we were able to enjoy the natural beauty of the falls. They have so many wonderful walkways around the falls, not only do they preserve the natural surroundings but fit in so well.

Yes, as proof of the fact that Sandi does travel with her husband, me. It's not too often someone catches a shot of me.


A shot taken from one of the walkways across the gorge just past the last of the falls.




The Main Fall, which is the last of a wonderful series of falls. We had taken the red trail which traveled the entire route up one side of the ridge and then down on the other side. A total of 2.5 miles which was quite steap at times.



After viewing my photos for the day I found that I had probably taken as many photos of sights surrounding the falls as the falls themselves. I find so often that people miss so much by not looking around when they are some place new. I also realize that I need a new macro lens! Hint, hint!



Up towards the head waters, the water is fast and confined into a narrow passage between the rock formations. It is amazing how much water is really traveling down stream.



A wonderful shot of the headwaters going down the ridge. This photo not only shows the volume of water heading down but also the walkways.



Fast water- Sandi brought up a very good observation; looks like Guiness Beer flowing!
