The falls were crazy - so many separate cascades. My favorite is the mossy wall with the trickling water. Wowsers. Thanks, Walter! This was wonderful. (The end of my neighborhood overlooks the Lehigh) Peace & Prayers.
Carol that was probably my favorite moment too! I love the sound especially and sight of water trickling down a mossy rock face, I am always drawn to those locations. Peace and Prayers Carol!
Hope you are starting to feel better Debbie, I came down with something just this weekend. The gorge was so peaceful, just a fantastic place, it has alittle bit of everything!
So cool that you were able to see that little footpath and went up to that cave. Buttermilk falls was beautiful and I really liked seeing you explore this park.
Its a great place to film because it is so beautiful and there is so much to see! Probably more caves tucked into that hillside too I would imagine. Thanks for your support @hikingoutdoorfamily !
Lehigh Gorge SP is chock full of natural wonders and just a few you scratched the surface on. Visited that exact area, mine, and falls several years ago. Funny I ran into a local who also explained that the falls i.e. Buttermilk are popular for ice climbing. He was doing the rail trail as part of his weekly routine and highly recommended for any biking enthusiasts. So much more to explore and hope you get the opportunity to do that and film in the future. I’m far from a skeptic as I’ve read, researched, and listened to hundreds of eyewitness testimony of Bigfoot encounters and that shot checked off all the boxes of what people describe in their encounters: sighting near a cave or mine, peaking behavior, quickly ducking away before being seen, and coming up behind the person. Could this have been someone? Sure. But that was an interesting and bulky profile, conical head, and odd behavior for someone who was curious about the cave in a public park right off a road to the parking lot below to be that skittish. Keep rambling brother and stay curious!
Im hoping to ultimately film here from multiple different places, Glen Onoko, The Bald Mt loop, up towards WhiteHaven, would like to see the canal remnants, i read about a terrible train disaster worth its own hike and video, hopefully a whitewater trip -hint hint -. Yes there is tons more to see and document of an amazing historical and natural treasure, the Lehigh Gorge is... Appreciate you buddy!
It’s a beautiful State Park. Chris & I have been there lots of times. Very serine. A place to get your thoughts in order. I don’t know what that was when you were in the tunnel, life is full of surprises at every corner…or at the end of a tunnel 🤗
Very true and wise remarks about life Cheryl. Im trying my best to make the most of every day... And I agree what a fabulous spot, so many attractions right on the rail trail, who knows how much more are burried in the hillsides and tributaries?!
I’ve been wanting to visit this place so bad, it’s on my list twice! Who knows when I’ll make it out there, but hopefully soon. That rail trail looks like it would be a fun scenic ride! That buttermilk falls is really unique, unlike its name, which is used to describe 1 in about every 10 waterfalls… Great video as always, thanks for showing off Scenic Pennsylvania!
Yea, so whats up with the "buttermilk falls" thing anyway?! Thats probably worth investigating in its own right, lol. Riding the train through the gorge in the snow, I think that would be awesome. I definitely think the Lehigh Gorge is one of those places in Pennsylvania that really flies under the radar for whatever reason maybe because access points are limited? Idk but it has alittle bit of everything going on there.
Thanks for taking us along!!!! I never noticed the tunnel. The advantage of walking instead of riding to the bottom :). I love riding my bike from Weissport to the Gorge or White Haven. Wonderful ride on the D and L trail. The cylindrical object you observed is the base of an old water tower that was used to supply water to the steam trains en route.
Appreciate that information Ed, thanks for confirming that! I had gone into some forums and tried to verify that but I couldn't 100 percent. Makes sense though with the waterfall being right there as well, thank you.
I found your channel from Quiet John. It's amazing how awesome state parks are! Waterfalls and ruins! I really enjoyed you exploring this park, so many cool finds!
You would have thought I had travelled a long distance to see all those sights but they were all clustered together near each other which really impressed me. Quiet John is a wonderful kind man, I am glad to have made his acquaintance, and I thank you for joining the channel!
Great shots of the water. I would return to these places every season when I lived in Jersey. Love the rhododendrons, ruins, locks, waterfalls, cisterns, and tunnels. So much. And then return when the reading and northern steam locomotive goes through the southern section.
I would really love to ride and film the train with a nice blanket of snow in the canyon, that I think would make some nice images! Tons of natural beauty combined with history throughout the gorge...
@@WALTERZOLNA that would be awesome, but I think they only run the steam locomotive in the gorge in the summer. But great rail fan opportunities in forested sections such as tamaqua tunnel and high bridge in the winter.
I feel like this was one of your most well put together videos. You gave a lot of great information here. I missed a few of these sights when I was here only because I was pressed for time. I was looking for the tunnel you showed in the beginning but got it confused with another tunnel in the area. You also had better luck at buttermilk falls than I did. I remember seeing two half naked dudes using it as their own personal pool. It was kind of uncomfortable trying to film the waterfall with them there. I’m glad the Ranger was nearby because she told them to get out. A job well done. 👍
Always appreciate your feedback and critical eye Craig. I basically spent about 5 hours filming a location that covered less than a mile. This allowed me to really take my time, I tend to think locations like these work out better for me. And the reality is there was one point of interest after another which always helps with a video. Once I got home I began digging deeper into some of the history of the place too, and I tried to add just alittle of that into the video.
Craig, I was also there this past summer your talking about the Turnhole Tunnel but it closed due the danger of rock falls inside but I took the chance and went in not that I'm encouraging it! 😉
When I worked for Pocono Whitewater as a mountain bike guide back in the early 90s, Rockport was considered roughly the halfway point from White Haven, then the beginning of the Lehigh Gorge trail, now the D & L Trail. That upper half of the Gorge is far more shaded than the lower half. So, many biking groups would have us take them out there after being dropped off in White Haven. Funny, I never did that loop either. I've been on the other side many times going to Buzzard's Point and Tank Hollow in Game Lands 141. That whole area is so beautiful. Really nice job touring this section of the Gorge. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great weekend!
Sounds just like human nature to bite off more than one can chew, especially tourist types! When I did Tank Hollow Vista a few years ago, I made my way down to river level via a faint foot path. I then headed up river to Stony Creek where I encountered a thickly walled but small building looked like concrete or some type of masonry just below Stony Creek falls a few hundred yards above the river. Are you familiar with that building and do you know what it was?
@@WALTERZOLNA Yeah, I think we talked about that before. That trail down is really sketchy. I don't know off the top of my head, but I know people in Unionville that probably do. I will ask and let you know. I hiked down to Stoney Creek from Unionville Road many times. Drakes Creek and Summer Mountain as well. My parents lived in Unionville and owned the property there since the late 1960s early 1970s.
@@WALTERZOLNA So, I spoke with one person so far. She thought it was a storage building for TNT and tools used for building the railroad. BTW, I was hiking in the Whitehall Parkway today and encounter Craig Koppel! We began talking about videography and I brought up your name. He laughed and showed me the group video you guys did which I of course had already seen. Small world!!
@@charliejg Craig is a good guy, that is funny! I had also heard the same thing about that building, so more than likely true. I really appreciate you getting back to me on that!
Thanks Scott. This was one of those places where once you scratch the surface with the history you start finding more and more. There was a terrible train wreck back in there I want to research and do a video on.
Another spectacular production . The opening sequence is so unique!-black and white with some color. That was a fabulous hike. Beautiful river and falls. You will have to go back to see them ice climbing, that would be awesome.
It would be neat to see what the scene looked like this weekend after the cold blast and some recent snow. Thanks for noticing on the intro, I was pretty happy with how that turned out myself, I thought it was a neat effect! Appreciate you Cathy thanks!
I'm so glad you got to go here. I've been walking here for years and it's one of our favorite spots. Not sure if you're already aware, but in case you're not.....just a few more miles toward White Haven are fantastic views of an old lock. It's off to the right side along with a kiosk or 2 about a tragedy that happened years ago. Thanks for another beautiful video with superb quality.
A great walking location, absolutely perfect for that! I did learn about the ruins of the old canal and train wreck up river. I plan to do another video on that area also at some point. Thanks for the info and I'm glad you liked the video!
X files was probably my favorite tv show of my teen years and I always took note of how they used flashlights and the juxtaposition of darkness and a small light source to create and build tension, its a great shot set up, with the camera in front and slowly walking forward. The two small caves where only feet apart, and I thought there was even another one a bit up the hill above those two but I didn't climb to check it out. I definitely figured in my head you would have crawled in there lol...
Hi. You were my entertainment between playoff games on Sunday and after watching Dave and Bob at Raysown. I enjoyed watching you get into the Park a little more than I did when I filmed there. Your voice over on history was very appreciated. I didn't know what that round stone building was either. Let me know if you found out. Thanks.
According to a few others the round stone building was a water tower for the locomotives that once ran through there, which is what I suspected. Thanks for stopping by Quiet John, I too saw Dave and Bob at Raystown, was great to see Bob being back to his typical self, just makes me happy to see everyone in the community doing there things!
I love exploring tunnels. A headlamp is very useful as it leaves your hands free. - So many water features. I love it! That waterfall is amazing. One of these days out get to that side of the state.
Even though Pennsylvania isn't a huge state, its big enough that getting from one end to the other requires some real effort. I feel the same way about so many locations in Western PA. I want to get there but it's just not feasible as a day trip. Appreciate your support buddy!
Cool video. We was so lost the day we were there. In the lot where you parked the dodge. No service and paper maps. We had no clue!😂😂 A place to revisit for sure. Thanks for sharing bud!
Man, I must have missed the release of this video! Excellent guide to the Rockport access. I am going to be in the Poconos this weekend and was doing my research. So pleased to see the top video on the location was yours! My kids will definitely dig that tunnel. Thanks for all that you do, buddy!!!
I'm pleased that it was at the top of search as well, lol. Lots to see in a small area, of course you could walk much farther if you liked and who knows what else you might discover!
This is a great video. I guess you can say this is one of the first videos i paid a food bit of attention to how it was filmed. Amazing stuff. I do not usually get to eastern PA much, but you sparked my interest for sure. Keep being a great steward to the scenic places in Pennsylvania...awesome!
Thank you. We don't have nearly the amount of open spaces in the eastern part of the state as central or western, but nonetheless some really scenic spots, a good bit of diversity, and tons and tons of history!. Appreciate your support my friend, thanks for that!
Another place to put on my list! Great video with good information. I'd love to know what you carry in your day pack, I recently cleaned out and reorganized my pack.
The little town coming in to this hike is so cool!! Just did this hike with my 2 kids, 10 & 7. Falls are close to parking, one in each direction, can bang this out in an hour easily. Great recommendation 🐊!!
I had suspected as much but I appreciate the confirmation. Im assuming the water was held above the existing stone structure? At any rate still a fine looking little building, great to hear from you @alanhykes8777 !
Thanks for those kind words. It's been a struggle to gain a presence in CZcams, but I can only control what I can. I try to focus on quality content, videos that I can be proud of. Hopefully the YT algorithm finds me eventually... 🤷
That was crazy that someone or something was peering into the tunnel and you didn't notice! I will be posting my video of my hike at the Glen Onoko Access and the hike up to Moyer's Rock just above the Turn Hole Tunnel soon
I want to check out Turnhole tunnel but I heard its closed off now. Seems like more than a few of the Gorge's best attractions are "off limits". I will be looking for it.
@@WALTERZOLNA even though it is off limits I did explore it and filmed it but "accidentally" deleted the footage as to not get in trouble for possible trespassing.
@@SimplyExploVenturing I hear you, generally speaking for me, its my policy not to publish something that is "officially" off limits, but having a look around is up to the individual i guess...
We never miss a video of yours. Have loved them all. Actually we may have missed a short, here or there. Sorry, but I'm a big fan of "say no to vertical videos". You get a pass on your first few videos, 'cause you didn't know any better at the time. 😀
Thanks for being a loyal friend of the channel, Harry. I know the shorts aren't for everyone and a lot of my core audience doesn't care for them. The problem is that CZcams is basically forcing creators to push them out if they want to get any growth. Since the start of the year 90 % of my subscriber growth has been through shorts...
Hi, Nice video on your channel, I really enjoy it. Your channel has 2.37k total members, 249,00 total views and 222 total uploaded videos. One thing I noticed is that according to your channel, your channel videos are not watched and subscribed. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will go viral. If your channel is a bit optimized and the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. As a professional digital marketer, I want to help you. Let's discuss your channel I look forward to your respons
@@WALTERZOLNAYou can see the pot polio proof of my long 4 years of work, I am talking about Channel Video SEO. Your channel is very good, even if you have enough subscribers, there are no views, because you are not SEO, as a result, the views are not coming, the subscribers are not coming, the videos are not reaching the targeted audience.
