On the Trail with Darcy and Lizzy: Eastern Pennsylvania

In our last installment, we left Elizabeth and Darcy hiking out of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and thus leaving behind amenities like campgrounds and privies. The Appalachian Trail in eastern Pennsylvania follows long, flat, rocky ridges broken by climbs in and out of gaps.

Below is Wind Gap – a break in the Blue Mountain where Darcy and Elizabeth hitchhiked for the first time – seen from afar.

This section of trail is also notoriously rocky. Hikers say this is where boots come to die.

But the views are worth it:

Next on the trail: Darcy and Elizabeth explore the Pinnacle and Hawk Mountain with Marianne Dashwood.
