Hiking Glen Onoko Falls- Jim Thorpe, PA


Take a right when you see this sign and head under the railroad tracks!


No joke, this is a difficult hike but can be completed by small dogs and children with the proper foot wear and precautions.


We took the longer way to the top of the falls the Red trail but we thought it was a much better way up than the orange. 




Leaves are slowly starting to change!


Took us 45 minutes to get to this point.


Top of the falls!





Mia was very adventurous on her first real hike!



Even took a dip thanks to daddy!






Ferns growing under the falls.

Needed a hand at multiple points down the Orange trail. Also went on a afternoon it had rained earlier so rocks were very slippery!



Thank goodness for Spencer, there to save the day for Mia and myself.







Time to hike- 2 hours 10 minutes (plenty of photo taking time obviously)


Parking- Right above wooden bridge by the D + L Lehigh Valley trail in Jim Thorpe. 

Suggested Trail Color to follow- Red, It is a longer hike up to the top of the falls but much less strenuous than the orange trail. We came down the orange which we preferred, couldn't imagine going up some parts with our little Mia! 

We hiked Glen Onoko Falls on an overcast day in the beginning of September, which was perfect because it wasn't humid, too hot, or too cold yet. There were a few rain drops on our drive to the falls and as we were leaving but nothing we minded being out in.

Staying Dry > Not Wearing Appropriate Rain Attire






So this may be my little motherly instinct coming out but I cannot stand when I see girls walking around the streets of downtown unprepared for such a rain filled day in State College. Are you trying to get pneumonia honey? Really I think rain clothes can be pretty cute and unique if you find the right ones! My next pair of rain boots will definitely be Hunter's I've heard they're the best for these dreary days, but for now my TJ Maxx rain boots will do. Also when it rains I have the pleasure of matching my car in color because I am gravitated towards neon green (I had the jacket before I had the jeep).
