outdoor1.jpgFall is one of the most beautiful seasons in the Northeast. As the weather become cooler and the leaves begin to change colors the mountains, becoming an artists palette with their breath taking colors. While seeing this all as you drive by does not compare to the experience of hiking a trail surrounded by this incredible scenery.

Northeastern Pennsylvania offers the hidden beauty of Glen Onoko Falls. Found in the small town of Jim Thorpe, with a unique history of its own, the falls offer breathtaking views, among towering natural falls. Glen Onoko Falls is a rugged hike and those with little experience should use caution. An important point, when considering the trip to Glen Onoko Falls is the falls are part of a natural area with hazards formed from nature including, moss covered rocks, steep terrain and fast moving water.

The falls begin with a mountain spring, boasting cool water even through the summer. From the mountain the water forms streams that travel down the mountain and over several waterfalls, some as high as 75 feet, only inches from the hiking trails. All this is found deep in the forest, and is a wonderful start to an endless supply of fall adventures.
