PEEC in July
With the recent heat, we were looking for a mostly shady hike and ended up in the Delaware Water Gap at the Pocono Environmental Education Center.
Trail Blogs are casual posts about a particular hike, sometimes with a seasonal focus. They don’t contain the detailed step-by-step instructions and information that our hike guides feature.
For example – the hike guide for Mt. Tammany has detailed instructions but also links to the multiple Trail Blogs about our various hikes up Mt. Tammany over the years (i.e. “Mt. Tammany and Sunfish Pond in the Fall“).

Biking the Delaware and Raritan Canal towpath north from Rocky Hill to Weston Causeway and back.
Long hike through the northern section of Allamuchy Mountain S.P. North, on the Waterloo Trail.
We needed a moderate-yet-pretty trail to do with some friends who were getting back into hiking shape, so we headed over to Jenny Jump.
One of our all-time faves, Dunnfield Creek trail to Sunfish Pond, around the pond, then return via the Appalachian Trail.
Get a peek at the Delaware River from atop a bluff, walk past houses abandoned because of the Tocks Island Dam project, and take a brief side trail to tiny DePue Cemetery.
Tillman Ravine is a gorgeous short hike with a rushing stream and multiple water cascades.
Decided to check out Stephens State Park once we stumbled on a trail map that showed the potential for long loops here.
First time hiking around Butler (Kakeout) Reservoir.
We tried this loop in early February but the slushy snow caused us to cut things short.
