- Thousands of people are drawn to New Jersey’s #1 hike each year and many times they arrive completely unprepared for what they are about to encounter. The Red Dot Trail to the Mount Tammany summit is 1.3 miles long with an elevation gain of 1100 feet. This can be very strenuous for the average person so knowing what you’re getting into and coming properly prepared will ensure you have a safe and enjoyable hike.

As of February 2023, the Kittatinny Point Visitor Center is closed due to staffing shortages. Parking and bathroom facilities at the center are not available for folks looking to hike Mount Tammany. There’s always a chance it could reopen in the future. I would recommend you call the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Park Headquarters before you head there to see if the center will be accessible. You can find the phone number here:

this is such a great+informative+dope video
loved the 3d moment of the trail
Great video dude!
After further review, my above exposure is not from the top of Mt Tammany or the "sweet spot' but further up river before the big right turn, from above on the cliffs. They would have had to hike up there for the shot. While Indian head can be seen in the lower photograph, to see the location of the above shot would have been impossible (I think) before you get to that bend to the right. There the islands which still exist can be seen. Thank you for the effort.
Hope our video helped you identify your vintage photos. Too bad you can't attach the photos in your comment (at least we can't see them if you tried), they sound very interesting!
Thank for your reply. taking a virtual trip down the Delaware today from tri point rock- 47mi?
I believe the central attraction would have been the Kittanning House which is represented in this photo (of a photo) which is extraordinarily clear . The original must have been spectaculars. Maybe phot -oshop could help bring it back? I have also been scanning the LOC Detroit collection of colored post cards they have for this part of the river. I could see this photograph being converted ala. photochrome" as Wm H Jackson did with "Hotel Coronado", CA and probably many many others. The background atmosphere in the upper shot is surreal and rare in photos of this period the ski is clouded with many different tones. Makes me thing of Bob Ross.
a pair of old photos, ca 1920, view the same scenic vista you captured about min 16 looking north up river as well as a reverse shot reportedly taken on the roadway at or below Wenona cliffs . It is a copy and the extreme background centers around the face of Mt Tammany . I have been searching for images that identify exactly where the image was captured.
Your work helps , but does not solve my questions. Now to return to the video and learn about "the sweet spot" I have a hunch but so far the river is not showing what once existed and today is gone- the islands which can be seen in my image from above.
Profits from auto sales and fuels and supporting industries built this country on a poor footing. If the only way you can survive is to consume your house, where will you be when the house is gone. The need to run one of the most heavily traveled roads in America directly through one of the most sacred sites on this continent did not profit the environment. The trail look worn, beaten, and the trees, with their badges are not as they were one hundred years ago . My image has no Rt 80.
Thank you, D.
