Anyone else enjoy hiking? I'd love to hear about your favorite spots.
Yesterday I went hiking alone, since my friend cancelled last minute, at the Delaware Water Gap. It's a pretty nice place, the first trail I did takes you to the top of a 1600 ridge. At the top of the ridge you have a magnificent view of the Delaware River, and on the other side another ridge, from the top you can see what seems like endless ridges and valleys along the Appalachians. The second trail I took was to a gorgeous glacial pond, by the time I got to the pond it was sunset, and the view of the pond stretching into the orange horizon was amazing. I encountered three bears along the way, two of which a mother and a cub (yikes!). I like seeing the Black Bears because they're usually very peaceful, but the mother and cub had me clinging to my little knife and walking stick. :tongue:
Share your hiking stories, I want to hear it all.
