Glen Onoko Falls Trail Hike
This small creek feeds the Lehigh River just northwest of Jim Thorpe. A steep and rocky trail follows the creek up the mountain beside the waterfalls. We only did a short section of the trail -- about three quarters of a mile -- but there was about 600 feet of vertical gain over that short distance.
 Looking down over the edge of the first big waterfall, which is about 80 feet high. We're sitting on a giant flat stone slab, which only has water running over it in one small spot. |

 Small waterfalls on the left, with the trail in the middle and on the right. The "trail" here is pretty rough; it's just a bunch of small rocks and dirt on top of huge sloping slabs of other rocks. Climbing up in the actual waterfalls is easier than taking the trail. |
