Hike Reviews

<p>Did the hike today with one pup.&nbsp; Really nice.&nbsp; Spectacular fall foilage.&nbsp; Light breeze.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cool temps - in the 60's.&nbsp; I saw one bow hunter along the AT so I'm glad puppy was on leash the whole way.&nbsp; The stream and waterfalls were nice despite it having been a dry summer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Be aware that it's easy to miss the turn on to the blue-blazed Kaiser Trail.&nbsp; The description of the trail is accurate ("AT descends briefly, the levels off"), but there was no sign at the intersection.&nbsp; It looks like someone used aluminum squares to blaze the trail, but the blue paint on the square is mostly flaked off.&nbsp; Fortunately, at&nbsp;the trail intersection, someone had scratched into the aluminum square "Blue Trail".&nbsp;&nbsp; Otherwise, it looks like a white square.&nbsp; I met a fellow today hiking the Jersey section of the AT and ended up on the Kaiser Trail because he was following the mostly-while aluminum squares.&nbsp; A four-mile off-course for him.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There are occasional blue paint blazes on some trees, but they're badly faded.&nbsp; </p>

<p>I'm sorry, but the first mile on the RED was ok if you are looking for something physical to do, but the scenery wasn't there. I saw only one mine just before you reached the creek bridge and that was IT. The creek was all dried up mostly from the lack of rain so that added to the disapointment. It was only 2 miles per the internet map, but the RED went on and on and on with nothing reallly to see. Maybe I should have hung some Blair Witch stick figures for the next hikers coming in. I thought about taking the BLUE halfway in, but decided not to venture without a physical map and I already wasted almost 2 hours of daylight. Apparently the BLUE would have lead to the AT and then the Catfish tower which was one on my main reasons for taking this trail. Again to me it was a waste of a days hike. I should have known when I saw an empty parking lot when I arrived.</p>

<p>9/30/12-While retutning from a hike,heading east on the A/T from Sunfish Lake, I noticed a Gray womans hoody drying on a rock. We had rain &amp; hail storms today,I got wet too.This is in the vicinity of the boundary marker signs for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area &amp; Worthington State Forest. The right hand pocket had pink plastic dog waste disposal bags inside it.Hope this is helpful to someone,its a nice jacket...</p>

<p>Is hunting allowed there? I know last year the area by Millbrook Village was closed to hikers. <br><br>I tried looking online but wasn't finding a clear answer. Also some areas don't allow hunting on Sundays.</p>

<p> Nice photos! </p> <p> I was up along this portion of the ridge this past fall, and it's great to see the difference when there aren't any leaves on the trees. </p> <p> Thanks for sharing your experience! </p>
