Date last hiked: ,
Trails hiked: I've hike up the mountains on both sides of the Gap. These are short (3 miles or so) but fun hikes. The AT goes right through the area. There is also great caneoing. I'd say this is the best trail system within a reasonabe drive of the extended "philly" region for a day hike.
