Lace up your hiking boots; we’re taking a trip out west! To Pennsylvania, that is. Come with us on a beautiful, but strenuous, autumn trek up Mt. Minsi. This is not a trail for hiking newbies - you must be in good physical shape and ready for a challenge. We’ll stop to eat lunch along the way, so be sure to bring something to munch, as well as loads of water. With the leaves changing and fall in full swing, the payoff at the top will definitely be worth the climb.

Directions:
From almost all points in NJ – take Interstate 80 west to the Pennsylvania border. Cross the toll bridge and stay to the right at the toll plaza and immediately take PA Exit 310 toward PA-611/Delaware Water Gap. Once on exit ramp, continue to the first right hand exit – follow the exit down a circular ramp. At the traffic light at the end of the ramp, turn right onto Broad Street. Continue on Broad Street until you reach a traffic light in the village (you will have passed a diner and the Village Bakery on the left, and there will be a pizza restaurant on the right). Turn left onto Main Street. Continue approximately 0.3 miles on Main Street, and look for the Deerhead Inn on the right. Turn right at the Inn onto Mountain Road. Take the next road on the left (Lake Road) into the trailhead parking area.
