Delaware Water Gap

So all that water that flows west from the Catskills eventually makes its way down to Port Jervis, and then along between NJ and Pennsylvania, and finally crosses the Appalachian mountains between Mount Tammany and Mount Minsi in a great geological spectacle known as the Delaware Water Gap. I was surprised as most New Jerseyians when I found out what these words mean. I have seen them my entire life on signs for Route 80, but on recently know what they mean.
Red-White trail. Where according to this sign, shooting hikers is a permitted use.
New Jersey is at the peak of foliage across the state.
Some red cedars clinging to the cliffs. The Delaware is in the background.
There are some tough spots to cross, but they are short lived and the hike is short and quick
The Water Gap. Hey look all that turbid water from the Catskills made its way down to NJ.
The burning bush on the summit of the mountain is incredible when it begins to change. This only happens for about a week each year.
Dunnfield creek flows into the Delaware at the base of the mountain.
