Love your enthusiasm man! Being out in nature is therapeutic on so many levels. Thanks for the video and don’t ever apologize for yelling! LOL
That was really well-said! Thanks!
Love your site and love that your family is all into this. Truly wonderful to be blessed with an adventurous family to do these things with. Never thought anything beautiful in New Jersey even existed. Hope most of these places are still open or will open soon.
That was good, John! Happy to give you a new perspective of the "Garden State." Looking forward to brighter days too!
That's exactly why hiking in the middle of summer in Georgia is my least favorite time to hike too much humidity. And then y'all had that River to cool off in! Really beautiful views up there of the river. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, can't believe that hike was almost a year ago. Time flies, brother! Hope for the return of these brighter days!
I like how you had to climb up the rocks to set up the cam, climb back down, so we can see your family climb back up. a lot of work people take for granted to record.
Comment of the night award!!! Always nice to hear from the folks that notice that! :) I'm always joking that I probably tend to double hike each trail. lol!
I climb Tammany at least once a year and yesterday was the second of 2020. It's a great, steep hike and it has three great features.. views, rocks and people. Great video.
Wonderful to know, Phillip! We are from NJ and this is one of our favorites too for the same reasons you pointed out! Thanks!
I've been in Jersey all my life, but have never hiked that. I really should someday. I have driven The Old Mine Road, end to end though. I visited Buttermilk Falls one time, in the middle of the winter. I had my niece with me, who was maybe 11 at the time. She took the "path" to the top, and I was terrified as I tried to follow her. I can't remember if I actually went all the way up or not. Anyway, thanks for this. I enjoyed coming along with you.
Enjoyed the comment! From NJ too and this is probably one of my favorite state hikes. Need to drive the old mine road one of these days!
Randy, I am always entertained by your rock-climbing son! Shane is an excellent hiker. We enjoyed watching your tour of this hike, THANK YOU for taking us along! . . . Mike
He sure did love that hike! :)
Good video!
Really appreciate that!
As a Jersey guy its great to see you giving some love to our own local parks!
Right on! We live in a great state!
That hike looks crazy. Your son taking it like a champ.
Thankfully not too long, but wow was it steep! Just shared your comment with my son - he was encouraged!
Great video, very informative. Thanks bud.
Much appreciated!
Hi live here in the Tampa Bay Area. I just did this climb last Monday6/3/2024 (Red ⬆️ Blue ⬇️) Your right about having good foot wear. Wished would have done this with a hiking boots but had my trail runners instead. Felt every rock. Also it was very buggy.. should have had repellent that day. Great video 👏
Much appreciated and glad you have an enjoyable time in NJ!
Awesome, thanks for sharing. Planning to go this weekend and will make sure with nice hiking shoes. Love the way you described everything. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much, Karma! Hope you have a great hike. One of my favorites in NJ!
Nice upload Randy ! Love the picture in picture...wonder how you do that ...Lol! 😂👍😉
Have a great upcoming weekend and god bless you !

Thank you, my friend! The picture in picture is really easy - just two tracks over each other and one reduced in size. Nice to experiment with some new effects.
Americas Parks
I know ...been doing this in my videos since quite while ...Lol! 😂😉👍
Have a good weekend Randy
H&S 👩❤️👨🌈
Wholesome content!
Much appreciated!
Nice take on red & blue dot trails! Yes! You guys took a dip in Dunnfield Creek! A great place to cool off in the summer. I went to a field today to see acres & acres of canola blooms along Rt 248 in Cherryville Pa; this was not really a hike just an opportunity to get some great pictures.
Great to hear you got out, Bob! Great weather - at least here in NJ. Julie and I drove over to Gettysburg on Wednesday. Beautiful area but so somber.
Tammany’s a great Jersey hike... another steep hike with awesome views you’d enjoy is Mt Ampersand in the Adirondacks, it’s near Saranac Lake.
Thanks, Perry! That's a beautiful area. Made a note!
Do you guys live in Toms River or what part of Jersey do you guys live in because, I know you guys said the shore area but I was confused lol. Thanks see you guys on the next adventure.
We keep it a big secret, lol!
Just wanted to say it was great to see you folks climbing that mountain, in New Jersey! I didn't know that was the highest point of the state.
Thanks, Mark! It's a beautiful area and often not what comes to mind when people think of NJ!
Hello Mark H. The highest point in NJ is actually a mountain peak within High Point State Park (1803 ft); I believe that Mt Tammany is the highest point in the Delaware Water Gap NRA, as stated by Pastor Randy. In any event it's a beautiful area with plenty to see & do on both sides of the river. Old Mine Rd on the Jersey side is a worthy drive as is Rt 209 on the Pennsy side. You won't regret a visit!
that looked like an awesome trip in these corona-times (or was it filmed earlier?). anyway really enjoy watching and following all these adventures, great fun and always makes wanne go there and explore for myself. thanks for all this and always spreading a positive message to any viewers, greetings from Switzerland!
That was a blessing to read. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! We actually did this hike last August and I've been sitting on the video clips. Pretty crazy here in the US, so glad I still have some old footage to work with. Thankfully, things are slowly getting better. All the best to you in Switzerland!
I am watching wishing I could be there right now!
You speak for many of us, Clara! :)
This channel was recommended to me by Snooch T.V.! Great videos! Just subbed! Cheers
Thanks so much! Those guys at "Snooch" are wonderful folks with quality work. Take care and stay healthy!
Americas Parks yes! Very nice people. There is a ton of hiking videos on my channel. Would love to hear your feedback. Cheers!
Did you see any snakes? I would be scared one would slither out of a crack between rocks haha
Hey Hanna, we didn't see any on this trip, but I have heard many do see them in this area.
How long is take you to go all the way up?
From what I can remember it didn't take too long - maybe 2.5-3 hours RT??? 3.3 miles, but steep at times.
How long did it take you to climb to the top?😇😇
From what I can remember it didn't take too long - maybe 2.5-3 hours RT??? 3.3 miles, but steep at times.
Thanks for getting me out of the house!
My pleasure and wonderful to have you with us!
I don't see you out of breath too often so this hike must have been a doozy! Looks awesome especially at the end! You did a great job filming and showing how steep this trail is. Thanks for sharing Randy 👍.
Appreciate that, Eric! Not too long, but really steep!
Miss going out and exploring God's creation. Thank you so much for taking us along!
Amen to that, brother!
Have you guys also hiked the Appalachian Trail? I heard it's nice.
Only short portions.
I live in NJ and have never been here. Thinking maybe this memorial day weekend...but with our 😷
It's a great hike, Sara! We are actually looking at climbing up nearby Mount Minsi tomorrow. Take care and stay healthy!
Shane is a little rockstar! Gorgeous view, but living in CA and hearing 1500' is the highest elevation? That, we have to laugh at. But the trail - no laughing matter. Shane still wins though.
Yeah, 1,500 is the best we can do! lol! But wow, it sure was steep! And Shane indeed put us all to shame!
I want to go again!

It would be great if you made a video to compete Randy on this hike ! Lol! 😂😉👍
Say hello to Randy for us

Never know how good thing are until they are taken away! Looking forward to brighter days!
America’s Parks:Hey Shane buddy what are those funny things are your on arms?
Shane Park’s: Sleeves Daddy!
AP: what?
SP: sleeves, you know sleeves?
AP: I literally don’t understand what your talking about.
They keep getting better! I need to work with that young man on his attire!
Incredible views! Well done, Shane! I was the only boy with three big sisters too. My sisters you to play a lot of pranks on me. When I was in the fourth grade, they woke me up and told me that I had missed the school bus. I jumped up, took a one-minute shower, got dressed and ran down the stairs. However, my parents were downstairs watching TV. They asked me, "What are you doing?" Almost in tears, I told them that I had missed the bus. They looked at me and told me to "go and get your sisters." It turns out that it was about 10 PM. I went back upstairs and my sisters were almost rolling on the floor laughing.
What a cool hike. As we linger deeper into quarantine I definitely feeling the call of nature. Especially that feeling of "Whats around the bend in the trail" and that feeling/reward when you reach the top of a vista and are treated to an amazing view :) Til those days return we will keep watching your videos to get a virtual feel of that. Much love as always Randy :)
That was wonderfully stated, Jymn! Thank you!
Good to see you all again! This was a beautiful trail a and there views from the summit were amazing. Randy, I really enjoyed multi-screen effect and stills intermingled with color videos and stills. It really makescacgreatvpresentation
Thanks, James! Encouraged by that feedback. Always fun to try some new things.
Haha, I thought you were yelling over the music, but of course that was added in production.
lol! Yeah, it was that loud Interstate behind me. As I was editing I thought, what a big mouth! :)
If I go straight to the mountain (the highest point ) how long does it takes ?
It's a relatively short hike, but very steep. We took our time and were finished well under 2 hours I believe. This should help: www.njhiking.com/mt-tammany/
I agree with Mom - a rock scramble is nice. It’s always good to have a pay-off with a view. Thanks for taking us along.
Perfectly said, Renee!
So cool to see some East Coast hikes! I hope to visit once airplanes are safe again, love that view.
Well-said, Joey! Hope things brighten up and you can get out here! Thanks for watching!
Nice talking with you Randy. Cool to see you still posting up clips.looked like a nice hike in a beautiful area.
Right on, Robert! Have a super trip!
Great edit, buddy. Seems like you guys had a really nice day!
Looking forward to more of them hopefully soon! Stay healthy out there!
Those views! Delaware river at 1500 ft. Just amazing. Thank you for sharing this... That waterfall!! ♡
Thanks! Hope the family is doing well and staying healthy!
Where did u find the waterfall im a new subbie
Looks like a nice day in nature. Hope you and your family doing good with everything that’s happening. #staysafe #weareallinthistogether
Thank you! All is good here physically and trying to stay positive. Hope the same for you, my friend!
What a beautiful climb! 🏞️
Gorgeous little waterfall 💦
Love your little guy's enthusiasm! He is so sweet. 💕
Thanks, Christine! With three older sisters, his life is really good!
Ive been on this trail and is a short but strenuous hike guys. It’ll whoop your but if you haven’t been exercising regularly. The views on top though will make it all worth it .. coming back down, I recommend the blue dot trail - a little longer but it is less hard on the knees.
Excellent advice for those who read this comment!
BTW way was that you that commented on one of my videos. Thanks if you did I really appreciate it would mean a lot if you could get maybe the family to check me and maybe your personal account. Thanks and sorry if I'm asking for much. Lol.
Just keep working hard to make great videos and the views and subs will come!
I have a request - hike to sunfish pond (very close to this one).. please
Good call, something I've desired to do... and no excuse as I live in NJ. :)
We really enjoy watching you guys hike! You’re love for the outdoors is inspiring! 👍🏻
Thanks so much! A little tough with the shut-down, but thankfully getting some opportunities to get back on the trails soon. Enjoyed your video!
Very nice video we enjoyed watching this. My wife son and I are goin to plan to summit mount Tammany this following weekend. Quik question where exactly is that little water whole if u dont mind. Looks refreshing
Thanks so much, David! Hope you have a wonderful hike... one of the best imho in NJ. You'll walk right past the swimming area if you descend on the blue trail (near the end on the right).
Did you see any snakes on the rocks? I’m planning to do this hike but am so afraid of snakes I am scared one will slither right out of a crack between rocks and get me😂😂😂😂😂
Really encourage you on this hike... one of my favorites in NJ!
going there today because of this video 👍
Really cool, Jackson! Hope you had a great hike. Weather here in NJ was incredible!
Hey nice hike ! My only
Concern is you guys aren’t using hiking boots ? I broke my ankle with regular sneakers hiking lol
Thanks for the kind words and concern! Yeah, I've personally had a lot of foot problems and the gym shoes feel the best. Yet I agree, the lack of ankle support is a concern. Thankfully no problems yet. Take care!
* * * * We are going this thursday! Why not just take the blue trail up & down? What would I miss? Any way to drive to top? PLEASE SAY YES!
haha! Sorry, not aware of a way to drive to the top. The red trail is more work, but way more impressive regarding the variety and views. Definitely go up red and then the blue trail down is a more gradual descent. Enjoy and be safe!
You should do some hiking in Ithaca and West Virginia highly recommend
Yes, really need to get out there!
When I do this hike, I also do a longer hike going further to sunfish pond.
Can you give me the exact location of this place, please?
The trailhead/parking lot is right off I-80 before you cross into PA. This should provide all the info you need: www.njhiking.com/mt-tammany/
I'm hiking here tomorrow morning 😎💪🏾
Sweet, James! Hope you had a wonderful day. Still my favorite hike in NJ.
Climbing one of the highest mountains there, I like the sound of that. Sure was a rocky trail up and I really enjoyed this as we were supposed to be in the Scottish highlands this weekend, with me attempting my 4th climb of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain, just over 4 miles up and the same back (just feels longer on the way back.) I had to lol when your son said "I think think we should keep going" and you were straight back with "I think we should keep resting"....LOL! Great views from the summit and sounds like a great call on the blue dot trail on the way down. Now that's a great way to easy those aching bones after a tough climb on a hot day. Hit the nail on the head with your final tip of the day, arrive early, I love an early start too. Take care all, great watch, cheers Alan
Thank you, Alan! Sorry to hear about your change in plans. Been tough here for us too, but trying to keep the right focus. Hopefully a degree of normalcy soon!
How long did it take from start to finish?
Should have clocked our time. For the average individual it takes about 2 hours. Most can complete it in 3.
Hello America's Parks! I hope all is well. I enjoyed the video footage of your family hike to the top of the Delaware Water Gap, which btw I have yet to do and it looks like a fun hike. Randy, I have a question? Have you ever hiked White Mountains National Forest, specifically Mount Washington? I think that would be a great family hike. Oh yeah, don't forget about...Rainbow Bridge😄😄!
Hey Al, just got back from a hike up Mount Minsi (PA) today, right across the Delaware River from Tammany. Great hike too! And when our WA trip was cancelled I tried to sub it with a trip to VT, NH and ME (next week). Unfortunately 2/3 of the states are still requiring a 14-day self-quarantine for out-of-state visitors. And.... just books the boat tics for Rainbow Bridge! Can't wait!
Hello America's Park's! Yeahhhhhhhh!! Your going to Rainbow Bridge National Monument and you and family are going to love it! This is a very unique area as Rainbow Bridge is surrounded by Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and also includes Horseshoe Bend and Navajo Bridge. So happy that your finally going to Rainbow Bridge, and I can't wait to see the video!
great video!!!
Thank you very much!
Wow, now that trail has a lot of rock! The trails which don't give you a break are indeed tough. These rock scrambles are fun though, and I find they make you pace yourself more, and I like that. You don't feel like you are always pushing to get there faster like you do other times. Great view from the top!
What is the exact location for this?
This should be all you need. Click on "directions" for the location. www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-jersey/mount-tammany-red-dot-and-blue-dot-loop-trail
so nice to be in the woods with you hope you are finding local hikes while we are stuck at home/ rox and i walk around our town up the hills every weekend, finally going out again soon hooray ... //looks like it was a great hike thanks for taking us with you
Same here! Good to hit some local stuff, but planning an out-of-state trip soon. Too bad our Death Valley trip (you gave me some good suggestions) needed to be cancelled. Make you better appreciate what you had the moment it's taken away. Enjoy your trip!
I need to go out (why I'm here checking out some video). Look g for an easy one, as we have a 2yr old. Maybe just sit somewhere have some food, relax a bit
Thanks for stopping by! We love the DWG! Still much to do there with an intense hike. Check out their website for some ideas. The waterfall hikes are relatively short. th-cam.com/video/xIQ2gNVoSKM/w-d-xo.html
@@AmericasParks thanks I did check the map before but being unfamiliar I don't know which place to start. I'll be coming from the south side, which part has some picnic tables maybe or an area that's easy enough for a 2yr old. Even just a name would help (its a big place). Or maybe will just go to the nearest part maybe, thank you sir
Wish one day, I will be able to make your quality vlog. Really enjoyed watching full video. Love it.
#karmarayshar
Thanks so much and all the best to you!
How long did it take?
It was last year - guessing a couple hours to get to the top. Short distance, but steep at many points.
How long did it take to do?
Sorry, Nath, should have noted our times for the video. It's not a long hike, but really steep. From memory, I believe we made it to the top in 1.5 hours (?).
Michigan :)
Right on! My wife is originally from Muskegon.
Went there today, have any other recommendations for mountain hiking?
Cool day for a hike! Did you look into Mt. Minsi across I-80? th-cam.com/video/yAxKAo7Mv94/w-d-xo.html
@@AmericasParks I did not but I'll definitely set a date to go there asap, thanks!
What does permit thing is about?
Do we need permit to climb this mount?
No permit needed to climb Mount Tammany or Minsi (across the river).
@@AmericasParks ok, thx
Me and 6 others did yesterday and stayed at the summit too and had climb back down the way we came at night with the cell phone light. Btw....classic when Shane says keep goin and says I think we shud keep resting! Lol
Neat to hear you've been up there and had a memorable time! This one is always dear to us being relatively close to our home.
You think a dog can do the red dot trail ? Which is nicer red dot or blue dot?
Red dot going up with much prettier (with the views) and more fun to hike. Dogs should be fine imho, but smaller dogs might have a hard time going over the large rocks.
@@AmericasParks thank you sir keep up good work
How do we find the waterfall? We take the blue path right?
Ya know, we didn't see any waterfalls on this hike. That's not to say they weren't there either. If you want some good falls in the area (other than Bushkill), look up Raymondskill, Dingmans and Buttermilk. All are close and can be easily seen in a day.
I like the small pond at the end of the video.
Wow, those views are incredible stay safe and we wish you all the best.
Really appreciate that! Same to you and yours!
Great video. Thanks for doing this.
Appreciate your kind words, Ryan! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
I like your channel. I've done many of the hikes and place visits you do. And as a Jersey resident, I'll say, this is the weekly or more exercise hike here for many. But since you've done the Beehive (maybe Precipice too) & Angel's landing, this is like a walk in the park! ;)
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing.
Really appreciate the kind feedback, Anthony!
Where is the The place where u went in the water located ?
Down the blue trail at the bottom. You'll immediately walk right past it on the way to the parking lot.
Thanks for the quick reply. After watching your video we decided to go there tmrw. Is swimming allowed ? How long was hike up ? Thanks for your video
@@lizbass2148 Yes, I believe swimming is allowed in that location. From what I can remember, maybe 3 hours for the hike??? Enjoy - one of my favorites!
Someday I'll make it to that part of the country for some hiking. Such lush and green scenery. I'm getting pretty anxious to get out and do some hiking in the mountains here out west. Snow is finally coming off the mountains pretty good now, so I think a hike is in my nearby future.
Wonderful to hear, Andy! I love the West so much, I think I often take our surroundings for granted. Still hoping the best for the August trip!
Lobe your videos.
Really appreciate hearing that!
Man that was one rocky trail. At least it was relatively short but your feet still take a beating on terrain like that. Those views at the top make it worth it though. Definitely looks like a fun park that could fill up multiple days between hiking and canoeing. Might have to make an extended weekend trip up there with the kids sometime soon.
You'd love it up there, Michael! So much to do with the mountains, towns and Delaware River. Really a special area!
Nice video dad! I liked the effects and the couple black and white shots you threw in there. I did that hike in the fall, so it was cool to see everything so green. Looks like you guys had a great time!
It's still probably one of my favorite hikes in NJ!
The hike from there north on the AT will take you to Sunfish Pond which is a great hike either out and back or can be done in a loop. Enjoyed the video👍👍
Thanks, my friend! Yes, have heard about the hike to Sunfish. Thanks for the nudge, because I need to experience that one!
Where was that waterfall located im a new subscriber and my family and i intend to visit this climb on sat.. Very helpfull video
Just back in town. Hope you had a great hike. If you didn't see it - it was located on the way back to the parking lot on the trail we descended. Can't miss it.
It's amazing how different it looks in the summer.
Absolutely! Almost 2 different hikes.
Salute...
Thanks and enjoy the rest of your weekend! Recommendation - give Mount Minsi (across the river) a try. th-cam.com/video/yAxKAo7Mv94/w-d-xo.html
Next weekend...its on brother!!!
@@zxulutv Enjoy!!!
Awesome video! I hope you are staying safe in this time. Do you know the location of the sign of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area sign at the beginning of your video? We would like to take pictures there. Thank you and God bless!!
Hey Ryan, even checked with my wife and we really can't remember. I believe we were heading north on the main road on the way to Dingmans Ferry. Wish I could be more specific! God bless!
Americas Parks hello! It’s ok, thank you for the general info however, that still helps. Happy Memorial Day!
Been trying to decide between Tammany and part of the Appalachian! Thanks for the video of your climb, it's much appreciated!
Thanks, nice to hear that! Both are really good choices! Enjoy and be safe!
@@AmericasParks Much appreciated!!!
4:52 This is an awesome shot of the highest point in NJ. Thank you!
Thanks! This is one of my favorite NJ hikes!
Very nice!! Be out soon👍🏼
Thanks, Jerry! Hope we are indeed back out soon!
Cool video with your family!! Going this weekend for sure.
Maybe the best hike in NJ. Just did Minsi last week. Enjoy!
Americas Parks it was awesome!!! We are going to try the ice caves in ny this Saturday, we met some people and showed us some pictures and videos, looks awesome!
Amazing
Appreciate that!
@@AmericasParks No worries, if you not see this yet check out through this website my instagram, tik tok and more photography you my like 👇www.jma82.com/gallery/
Hey Randy. How was the climb down? This trail looks like a good workout lol. My wife and I want to take the drive up when it’s a bit warmer to hike this
Hi Brian, we took the alternate route back down which was less scenic, but a much more gradual decline. This loop goes up the RED DOT trail and returns down the BLUE trail. One of the best NJ hikes!
