Tour 11 - Waterfallmania and Big Pocono State Park

 

 

We will start our tour at 7 am in midtown Manhattan, 8th Avenue between 33rd and 34th Street on the East side of 8th Avenue, across the street from 5 Penn Plaza (Google Street address is 460 8th Ave. New York, NY10119. It is written 470 on the building) (Old Duane Reade building, we are not sure what it will be in 2024) DON'T BE LATE! Please come 15 minutes early to sign in.

You will be greeted by your tour guide for the day. You will sign our liability waiver, and after departure a light breakfast will be served on board the van.

 

 

We will drive to Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania, a National Natural Landmark. This park is very special by having so many spectacular waterfalls concentrated within a relatively small area. This is a true paradise for any waterfall enthusiast. One the way to PA, we will stop to pick up some lunch sandwiches.

 

 

We will hike to a total of 21 beautiful waterfalls ranging in heights from 11-feet to 94-feet.

 

You will get very close to all the waterfalls because the trail runs parallel by the streams as they run down 2 major gorges.

 

You can choose to hike with one of our guides or you can do it on your own.
