Delaware Water Gap - Take One

Thursday, October 6, 2016

Off to the Delaware Water Gap, where we had our first real camping experience with Alex.  We left CT at noonish and arrived at Dingmans Ferry, PA around 4 pm.  Prior to getting to the campground we stopped by the Visitor Center and took a small hike to see a couple of the many waterfalls in the area. We hiked up 247 stairs (one-way) to get a view of the falls from above.  I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that I felt the burn...baby steps with this hiking thing will definitely be needed :)

After our little hike we found the campground and made camp.  The DWG is a part of the National Recreation, Parks, & Forest System so we were able to camp at 1/2 price ($20) because Wilson has the Golden Age Passport.  This pass has saved us a lot of money over the last couple of years as it gets you into National Parks, Monuments, Historical sites, etc. at no cost.  It also offers 1/2 off pricing for camping in a variety of National areas.  If you are 62 or older, it's the best deal in town - only $20 for a lifetime pass.
