Mount Minsi - Stroudsburg Pennsylvania Hikes

This a bold hike that uses a stretch of the Appalachian Trail (AT) as it weaves along the ridge of the Delaware Water Gap, at one point taking hikers to an overlook 1,000 feet above the Delaware River. This is one of the most—if not the most—rugged section of the AT in Pennsylvania. There are heart-stopping views of the Delaware Water Gap, the Delaware River, and the Interstate 80 bridge across the Delaware. From the summit, look across the Gap to Mount Tammany and Kittatinny Ridge in neighboring New Jersey. Terrain: Follow a typical mountain footpath over rocks and through outcroppings; climb along the rocky edge of a water gap for impressive views.
