At Wick's request, we went to explore the Glen Onoka Falls near Jim Thorpe, PA. It's a pretty interesting climb. We decided to take our resident hiking hünd with us. Faraday did amazingly well with the trip. Climbing a mountain is even more impressive when you only have 4" legs. We only had to carry her over the really hard terrain.

The "trail" is pretty questionable, and I wouldn't make an attempt in the winter months. However, the falls are quite amazing. If I were to change anything for the next trip, I would have worn more appropriate shoes. Sneakers don't protect from sharp stones, nor do they provide very good ankle support (for when you twist one on a rock).

Here's one of the better pictures from the trip. Yes, I hoofed a tripod up the side of the mountain to get this shot.



There are seven falls total, this is just one of them (not the biggest). It was just the best picture of the day.

Also, when we reached the summit, I took a GPS reading, in case any of you want to visit the site. Here are the coordinates, and a link to the map:
