The entire path to Dingmans falls is almost level with a bench or 2 to rest/take in the surroundings. You also get to see Silverthread Falls a few hundred yards into the trek (there were a lot more downed trees obscuring Silverthread than my previous visit 10 or so years ago) ...at the end of the trail you arrive at the base of Dingmans Falls -- a great cascading noisy delight! Great photo ops, although you may have to joust with other onlookers for a position to snap a pic ;) This time, I opted to take the 'hi-rise' side trail that juts left and up right before you get to the base of the falls...unlike the main 'boardwalk', the side trail has a fair amount of steps - up, down, and up again - placing you above the top of the falls. Perhaps not as photogenic as from the bottom, but it's pretty neat to see the water run over the cliff and see the perspective. If you have small kids or tired knees, you could skip the side trail...but if curiosity gets the better of you, like it did me, it was a fun jaunt. Do I recommend a trip to Dingmans Falls? Absolutely!

Parts of the ice house foundation can still be seen, though the growth around the area is thicker every year. The dam was rebuilt in 2008, and is now a quiet, safe place for everyone. Because it is a part of the Game Commission, orange vests are encouraged during hunting season. My mother's favorite story to tell is of parking the car, opening the door for her black lab, being told that black bear was is season, putting the dog back in the car, and skipping the walk for that day. We visit Brady's lake a few times a month as a family. We bring the dog, wear sturdy shoes, and have a bunch of fun disturbing the bull frogs at the water's edge. This spring we were able to watch the tadpoles turn into polliwogs, and we are able to see the lake at it's fullest. Fun on many levels. Bring bug repellant and sunscreen, carry a bottle of water. Wave to the fishermen, bikers, and joggers as they enjoy their day. Brady's lake is 3 miles off of Route 940, making it one of those rare spots to hike. Easy access, and perfect peace. Enjoy!

I'm not the type of egomaniac that has a list of 136 thrill-seeking things to do before I die. But…read morehave you ever driven a sled pulled by dogs? I have! Exhilarating. I'll sum it up like this. They minimize the instruction, but you still get to drive the sled yourself. Look at the dang ole picture I posted. How cool is that? Sure, it's fun to careen down a hill on a sled, especially after a few glasses of hard eggnog. But it's yet another thing to mush (be dragged by) six out-of-control dogs that totally love running as much as you love being pulled along. First, you meet the dogs, all adorable. (Many were rescued from shelters, all of them want to run-run-run. And all of them are good with people -- these aren't exactly Iditarod dogs. Your sled will only have 3-8 dogs instead of the usual 14.) Then, after a few more basic pointers, mostly having to do with standing without falling and braking, you get your sea legs by "driving" the sled behind a snowmobile. Finally you're thrown out there, your safety net being the dude on a snowmobile. The course is a golf course, no steering involved. I love you Willow, Snuggles, Yazzie, Mingus, Otis, and Stumpy. Mush!!

Overall it was still a good experience that I'd recommend, especially if you're a dog lover. Definitely get more than enough time with the dogs and the tour ride itself is also pretty lengthy.

Availability seems pretty weather-dependent, so phone ahead and have a backup plan for your day,…read morebut our experience was super fun. You ride in small Cessna propeller plane, which can comfortably seat two, and can squeeze a third if you must (two adults and a kid seems reasonable, and there's a coupon on the website to get your third passenger free, so this might be good for families). We did the Delaware Water Gap tour, which is around a half hour. We went in fall, and the scenery was gorgeous, with rivers and mountains covered in colorful autumn trees. You star fairly low so you can still see a lot of what's going on below. The wind tends to be a bit choppy up in the mountains, so this might not be great for those faint of heart or weak of stomach, but it also adds to the thrill. Toward the end of the flight our pilot let my girlfriend take control and fly the plane. This was a big thrill for her, and he actually let her do quite a bit in terms of guiding the plane and bring it in for a landing (but of course he took control back for the landing itself). If anyone is interested in a little mini-flight lesson, make sure they take the front seat. Overally great experience. Might seem a little pricey for a relatively short activity ($50 for 30 minutes, although I think it was a little longer), but it was totally worth it.

Hamburg, NJ - this abandoned and dilapidated structure falls gloriously into the "Weird NJ"…read moreterritory. I've wanted to visit for a long time, so when I unexpectedly drove by it last summer, I had to pull over to take some photos. It used to be a small fairytale-themed amusement park, designed in 1928 by Austrian architect & set designer Joseph Urban, and was installed next to the Wheatworth Mills factory (later acquired by Nabisco), whose owner F.H. Bennett commissioned the park to be built, inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairytales from his childhood. The park opened to the public in 1930 and was a popular attraction, but closed in the late 1980s due to waning interest and attendance. Although there have been some restoration efforts by successive owners of the site, these have faced challenges and it doesn't look like much has been done. Due to trespassing and vandalism, the property is closed off by a chainlink fence, though you can see it from the road. The buildings have fallen into severe disrepair - which, to be honest, adds to the atmospheric quality - so there are also structural safety concerns to keep out curious explorers. If this has piqued your interest, you can visit a somewhat similar but glossier old-fashioned fairytale themed amusement park of a slightly newer vintage (1950s) that IS successfully renovated and open after a two decades-plus hiatus: Fairy Tale Forest in Oak Ridge, NJ! (See my separate Yelp review for this unique attraction.) It's enchanting, nostalgic, and one of my favorite places in the world. Sort of uncanny like this, but is still operational and less haunting.
