November is not the best time to be exploring nature in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Center. All the visitor centers were closed but trails were open. We opted for this one that was a board walk to a waterfall.
Notice how low the water is. Since September there had been drought conditions.
You can barely make out a trickle of water in the above photo. It wasn't our destination waterfall.
Lots of rhododendron or mountain laurel along the way. It would be beautiful in bloom.
Destination achieved: Dingmans Falls.
I'm sure it's spectacular when there has been more rain.

...thanks for taking me along to see the sights. Let's go back when the rhodies are in flower.
Beautiful walking through the woods along a calm creek. Glad you saw the falls. I'll guess that I may enjoy waterfalls again in a while, but for now, I'm a little bit skeptical...knowing the power that much rain can cause such damage downstream. And the creeks themselves no longer look all that peaceful here.
That looks like a perfect place to be at peace with yourself and the world.
Lovely walk and still pretty even though there is a drought

How beautiful! I would definitely need my hiking stick! Hugs!
What a gorgeous waterfall!
