THE HIKE:
 |
| The trail starts to the right of the kiosk on the gravel road... |
 |
| ... along the Delaware River then ... |
 |
| Ten Mile River. |
 |
| Veer left and cross the Stone Arch Bridge which was constructed in 1875. |
 |
| Ten Mile River from the bridge. |
 |
| Continuing along the gravel road. |
 |
| Views of the Delaware River along the way. |
 |
| The trail leave the road to the right... |
 |
| ... and enters the woods to a trail register. |
 |
| We did the loop counter clockwise. |
 |
| Fourth hike of the day! |
 |
| There is an option for the steepest part of the climb. |
 |
| Which way would Shawnee choose to go? |
 |
| I figured she would want to take the easier route. |
 |
| At the next sign the trail turns right but we continued on to explore... |
 |
| ... old bluestone quarries. |
 |
| Back on the trail to continue to the overlook. |
 |
| Not a whole lot to see at the overlook if you are my height. Maybe a taller person could see more. |
 |
| The rest is all downhill on a woods road after a little bit of a scramble over rocks and downed trees. |
 |
| Back at the trail register. |
 |
| Heading back to... |
 |
| ... the gravel road along the Delaware River. |
 |
| A view of the Stone Arch Bridge from the bank of Ten Mile River. |
 |
| Ten Mile River |
 |
| Ten Mile River flowing into the Delaware River. |
 |
| Having some dinner while I abandoned her for a few minutes to... |
 |
| ... get an evening shot of the Delaware River from the access. |
