Weekend Getaway

Jim Thorpe is a cute little town in the Pocono mountains. The train in the first picture is the Leigh Gorge Scenic Railway, it’s 70 minutes long through the Leigh Gorge.

Hawk Falls is about 15 minutes away and about 1 miles out and back and was absolutely beautiful.

All 4 of the other falls are actually all on one trail. It’s the Glen Onoko Falls trail and when you start you go under the railroad and up the mountain and when you get to the first waterfall she’s beautiful but keep going because there’s 3 more past that and once you get past them it’s an overlook but we ended up going back down because it was 14 degrees when we did it but it was so worth it!#travelwithme2024
