11/14/10 - Harriman State Park, NY. Still some fading color, decent amount of leaf drop. Some color along the Parkway heading north.<br />

I agree the Pinelands are underrated - fiery red blueberry bushes against green pine is as striking as any other fall foliage.<br />
<br />
We like hiking the pinelands in the winter - it's cooler, less ticks, and we can avoid the bit of snow we get in the mountains of N. Jersey. Plus with the pine there is at least some 'leaves' on the trees.<br />

The oft-underrated Pinelands (down here in south jersey) are absolutely beautiful right now. I'm back in school full-time so I don't have much time to travel too far, but I still get my hiking fix in the pinelands, and this time of year they are really beautiful. Plus, they're good if you're still acclimating to the cold. I find that if I head for a really elevated hike too early in the fall, I'm almost always unprepared (I never learn!). south…

I find that if I head for a really elevated hike too early in the fall, I'm almost always unprepared (I never learn!). south jersey is pretty much flat, so it's a great way to ease into the chilly weather.<br />

These pics are of the Mt. Misery (8.6 mile) trail and a few side trails. Taken Oct 30, 2010. As you can see it was PEAK color that day!<br />

My friend and I just visited both of those falls including bushkill falls as well. We did a two day road tip back and forth. All falls were spectacular. Got some great photos :) Bummer we could not get to the very bottom of Raymondskill falls. It would have been great to capture the whole falls in one photo. The falls around PEEC were stunning as was a beutiful hike.<br />
<br />
Again, thanks for the heads up Linda Frank! =)

We will be checking out the bushkill area on our roadtrip tomorrow so we'll see if we may drive up to raymondskill. It does look very nice. Thanks for sharing the photos :)

Still some fantastic color just north of The Gap around Milford, Pa. We were there last weekend. These were taken from some bushwacked overlooks on The Cliff Park Trail just outside of Milford. Put together a 9+ml. loop. Great day.<p style="text-align: left;"><img alt="" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2174042170?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></img></p>

Did the other side above the Delaware to Sunrise Mountain. Don't go there on a weekend if you can help it. Mucho families w/very unruly, disobedient, non-trail-trained kids thanks to their equally non-trail (or common-sense trained) parents! Ugh!<br/>
<br/>
Oh, and if you want to see falls, Emmet, go no further than Raymondskill Falls at the foot of the Cliff Park Trails. Tallest falls (longest drop, that is) in Pa. Three levels and bee-utiful!<p style="text-align: left;"><img width="540" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2174046785?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt=""/></p>
<br />
Another great <i>Fall's Viewing</i> are the multiple falls at PEEC (Pa. Environmental Education Center) at Dingman's Ferry. Lots of elevations & natural steps along ridges approx. 6+ml. to view at least 7 or 8 falls. Here's just one:<br />

Yeah, I wanna head up that way soon to capture some fall colors and some waterfall pictures as well. I might be going to PA side for the waterfalls though.
