I rock scrambled here! You have to be mentally prepared!! Super intense
Great video, your narration made it even more enjoyable. I grew up in Yonkers, saw the Palisades from my neighborhood.
Great review. Just did this hike with my wife and our Shih Tzu dog. It was tough but we had a lot of fun!
Very well done!!
Thank you :D Glad you enjoyed it!
this was so awsome !!!
kloveinn Well thank you! Now you just have to hike it for yourself ;)
Love the look of this trail. Not too far from where I am in Connecticut.
WOW
Looks amazing
Super sharing
Thank you
I believe it has been determined by geologist that the Palisades are one of the precise points where the north and south America plate separated from Europe and Africa plate .
As a side note, Long Island is just a giant sand bar deposited when the glacier of the last ice age receded.
I just learned so much - and in just 2 sentences! Thanks for the educational commentary ;)
BTW... The Hudson river trench extends about 10 miles into the Atlantic as the Hudson started flowing again when there was still a large amount of water locked up in glaciers so, the the ocean levels were much lower.
I don't care what Sheldon Cooper says, geology can be fascinating . :)
Thank you for this "adorkable" trail guide. It made a planning this hike much less daunting, and more accessible and enjoyable.
Thank you.
Was just there today. Where did you park to find the swings? How long was the loop you Took? There lost more cool stuff in that area too. A castle and lots of abandoned buildings and campsites and old bunkers. It was fun.
Hey, Emm! We parked at State Line Lookout and found the swings at the base of Peanut Leap Falls - That was 3 years ago, though, so the swings may no longer exist! The loop was 4 miles. And I agree! This area is a pretty neat place to explore :D
amazing
Wow! this is a nice place on earth. Thanks for sharing, subbed and like too..Stay connected.
Hi! I'm planning on hiking this trail tomorrow. I read on other websites that the Giant stairs were blocked off after the 2012 rock slide. Was the whole trail open for you in 2014?
+Kat Kat Hey there! It was completely open when we went and has been since they've cleaned up the rock slide (though the scramble remains ;) ). Beware of residual ice, otherwise you should be good!
+Unboring Exploring Wow you guys rock! Thanks for replying so quickly!
+Unboring Exploring It ended up being sooooo awesome!!!!
are those cliffs any good for climbing?
Would you say this trail is kid friendly ???? Also, can you provide the exact address ??? I googled it and can't seem to find the address.
Hello there! Hm, depends on the age of the kids...there is some tricky rock scrambling (as I'm sure you can see) so wouldn't recommend young children. As for the address, the hike begins from State Line Lookout in NJ - here is the Google Maps location: goo.gl/maps/entXv1u7Wvk
i did this with my mom and my aunt with her dog..my aunt fell which was scary...we started from the stairs at 2 and made it out from the cascade at 11
+i Narwhal Ah, that sounds treacherous, glad you made it out okay...stay safe out there!
i live in palpk rn
Do you know the exact address of this hike ??

Ok what about bears, wolves etc.. Please somebody let me know. My and my freind want to start taking to the NJ hiking trails...
Hey Phyllis! You should absolutely start exploring the NJ trails...there are so very many! You have nothing to worry about when it comes to wolves - and as for bears, just be aware! I've hiked MANY times over the years and have only seen them once in NJ, once in NY. What's paramount is being prepared for the hike w/ a map, water, and snacks ;)
great copy ;)
Awesome video~
Thank you :D!
Are you a geologist or writer by any chance? :)
Haha I am no geologist, though find the subject intriguing! And as for writing, I certainly dabble, at least in the lighthearted educational sense ;) Why do you ask?
What kind of camera did you use? It's really nice. I just uploaded a video.. My partner watched your video. And took me! Be sure to check it out
Loved the video, glad you conquered the hike! And I use a Nikon D600 :)
+Unboring Exploring wow very nice. I didn't dare take my d800!!! Risky. I used a GoPro. I love your style video. Keep it up!
+Unboring Exploring last question. Sorry. External mic? Or nikons built in?
General HowTo built in ;)
+Unboring Exploring thanks!
There are some top-notch puns in this video.
Aha I'm happy you appreciate the quote-unquote humor! 😆
I do, and anyone who doesn't can take a hike. Great video, I am a new subscriber.
Excellent resPUNse! (...sorry, couldn't help myself) - Thank you for subscribing! Hoping to churn out new content soon enough ;)
Good to hear, hopefully with some more NJ spots. Looking for new trails to walk/go birding.
Was shitting myself as the paved trail devolved into a bunch of rocks you have to climb uphill on
This, as well as half of the entire trail was my first experience hiking, except I went in reverse order, so I had to walk DOWN those steep ass steps. Uneven stairs and scaling boulders off the side of the cliff were NOT the favorable moments of said hike
"fowl plat aside" legit made me spit take
😹 Glad you appreciate the humor!
This trail has a nasty poison ivy problem. It's on the sides of the trail, even on the trail itself. It would be a good hike if not for the poison ivy, but it's so bad I feel like I need a hazmat suit to hike it safely.
Great hiking area, & intriguing magma cliff...which is not millions of years old, though.
Seen a blurry bigfoot out there
This is funny
Jordan Ramos-Farhat Glad you think so :D
Foul play aside lol
good video....meh for the hike.
Please don’t do this hike if your a beginner just did it today the rock scramble is extremely intense stretches on for miles I almost died the boulders are loose and very tough to shimmy over please trust me
I want to toss a large rock into the water from the top so badly Just to make the loudest sound possible.
+Chili master17 I'm sure you're not the first, though sounds like a risky endeavor!
Your so beautiful
Assention lol
Indeed! 😆
Be real those are not giant stairs at all. I went hiking one time, first time, and last time for that much. I know now to just start like a normal person. Also, good rigged sneakers are highly advised. You need a break, seriously just take a break. It was truly my choice to overcome my fear of heights. I think I almost died that day. Anyhow, just seriously be super careful.
Junior High English classes would probably appreciate your narrations. I am not being critical. Your choice of vocabulary make an otherwise boring subject more interesting and they could use the same strategey in their writing, though not so profusely.
Video would have been enjoyable without the annoying voice commentating
