In order to enjoy fall I decided I need to take a hiking trip on one of my last free weekends for a very very long time. While on the plane this past week, I read about the Niagara Falls of Pennsylvania - Bushkill Falls. It is located in the Poconos mountains. I thought it would be a great time to go with fall just starting. Saturday mid-morning I headed off on a 2 hour road trip to Bushkill PA.
Above is the largest fall, which is about 100,000x's or more smaller than niagara falls, but I will say that Bushkill Falls had more trails to hike and was less touristy. And the weather was amazing - cool and crisp, but not cold.
I hiked over 2.5 miles along a little stream and around to view I think in total over 8 falls.

I fell in love with the golden tree growing straight out of the rock wall. So beautiful in all it's glory. I took quite a few pictures of this beauty. At Bushkill, the leaves were changing colors, but the variety was slim. Mostly yellow & green trees, very little red or orange to break it up. The hike was not a colorful as I had hoped, but still beautiful.
My favorite fall of the day. Bridal Veil falls.
A little trick for the eyes. Look at the above picture - can you tell what is off about it. What seems wrong? Think for a second. I'll tell you at the end.
Beautiful sunset on the drive home. It was an all around great day!
The other picture is a reflection in the water, you can see leaves resting on the water and the ground at the top of the picture.
