Tumbles and Crank are back in PA for a local gem of a hike. The Lehigh Gorge State Park near Jim Thorpe, PA is a lovely spot to enjoy a little bit of everything hiking wise.
The hike that we did is hike at your own risk! It has been technically closed since 2019, however we needed to sneak a peak at some lovely waterfalls.
We also learned that one impressive waterfall is better than 26 waterfalls from our last hike!
