"I agree with Daniela. The Giant Stairs is probably the closest you'll get to the Mohonk scramble in NJ. BTW my son is 11 & those 2 are his favorites."

"Another possibility is the Dunnfield Creek trail,  past the bridge, where it starts to head uphill and overlooks the water. We've seen people jumping from there into a pool of water. From the Dunnfield lot on Rt. 80 it's roughly .75…"

"I'm guessing that it's Van Campen's Glen, about 10 miles up the Old Mine Road from the Watergap. A beautiful (and popular) place."

"I have done this hike & it is 1 of my favorites. I love the challenge & the scenery. I have also rec to some people & their reaction was the same as yours. The contrast in itself is beautiful. Both times I have gone, it was never overly…"

"I did go and enjoyed the hike. However, I was a little disappointed with the rock scramble. It was much easier than I was expecting. Btw it did take us about an hr walking slow."

"Recently, I said it should take a hour or so to reach the Lemon Squeezer. Wondering if that was true, as it's been quite a few years since I've been there, I decided to try it out.   Tuesday, I left my car at the Elk Pen at 12 noon,…"

"From the Elk Pen, it should only take an hour or so to reach the Lemon Squeezer via the AT."

"Hi Shea - The actual squeezer/scramble area isn't that long really... takes perhaps 10-15 minutes to go thru, max. Perhaps more if it's popular and you are waiting behind people. Also, the scramble at the end of the squeezer can be…"

"Thank you. I was very excited when I read your post b/c the word teacup rang a bell. But when I looked at the photo it didn't look exactly the same. However, after doing more research I found that there are supposedly more of these teacups…"
