Glen Onoka Falls

We took a nice hike around Glen Onoka Falls in Jim Thorpe, PA. The hike was few miles up a gorge in some extremely humid weather, so a quick dip under the falls was a great way to cool off. These falls were surprising since we were expecting to see one and it ended up being about 7 distinct falls. The hike got off to a bad start when Kate ran into one of her slithering friends about 5 minutes in. She screamed like a murder had just taken place which made me temporarily deaf in the right ear... Luckily for me and my ears she didn't see any more snakes the rest of the hike...
Top of one of the falls... This was as close as I was willing to get since the rocks were very slippery. Over this ledge was a good 50-60' drop...
