Been there several of times. The absolute best time to see this, in my opinion, is when it's frozen. The ice formations are incredible and the frozen spray covers everything.
Ya makin me wanna drive up to Crabtree Falls here in Virginia, and take the trail there again! Many tiers, very tall, quite steep. They have an old Native people's rock-shelter alongside the trail that I stop to take a break at. Good overlook to watch for any enemy group with a large boulder in front to shield sight of the fire from below - several large boulders back on the ledge makes like a hollow pyramid to shelter in.
Cool hike Cliff, I enjoyed it very much!!! I love the sound of waterfalls and the way they look!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Take care, stay safe and God bless you!!!
when I was a child , me and my brother would go with our dad and visit Bushkill, Buckhill and Ramondskill Falls. We also visited Winona 5 Falls which later became something else. Back then, there was also Dingman Falls.
Darbytown Falls are the tallest. Raymondskill Falls only say it for tourism and put the "if you add all the tiers together" at the end of the tallest fall claim. Nice that it wasn't crowded for you.
This is a beautiful spot thanks for the video! If you want to see something even more impressive checkout Letchworth State Park in Western NY. It is called the Grand Canyon of the East (so are two dozen other places). The Genesee River flows north to Lake Ontario. The cliffs in this series of gorges are vertical up to 800 feet, there are at least three falls, and the width is probably 300 to 400 feet. I'm always surprised that people in NY know Niagara Fall, but don't know about Letchworth. Stunning views, surrounded by forests, no crowds.
Here in British Columbia we have the highest vertical drop for a waterfall in Canada.Della Falls on Vancouver Island has a vertical drop of 1140 feet.Definitely a neck strainer!Love your videos.
I remember seeing the signs on I-80 "Del Water Gap" many years ago..I had to ask my cousin what it meant. The closest I ever got to it was "New Hope". Now I leave near "Minnehaha Falls" which has only one tier..but its pretty cool for being inside a city.
I think the trail would likely require some very expensive engineering and construction to get hikers closer to the Falls for viewing and photography. Perhaps experienced hikers could scramble to the base by going off trail and using ropes and harnesses. It doesn't look like the kind of place I'd try doing that alone, though.
Besides the falls there is one of the best hikes in the world(almost!)right nearby.(youtube raymondskill falls cliff trail).This is how you do the hike: park at "cliff park trailhead lot" take the left blue trail along the lake until you reach the red/white trail.Take the red/white trail until you see a post with a camara on it pointing off trail. follow that(up) and the thick forest will give way to a jaw dropping "canyon"with delaware river running in it.Then make a right(you can make a left and go up and come back to same spot but will make hike much longer,we didnt do it) and walk along the cliff all the way down till you hit a road.You'll see across the road a little to the right a parking lot.Take the trail there down to the falls.The trail continues from the top of the falls(you'll see there, its not complicated) follow that trail till you hit back to the road.across the street to the right is a yellow marked trail.take that until you see a poster pointing off trail(forgot what it says but someone wrote on it waterfall) follow that until you hit the falls there.Its a pretty big falls, perfect sitting place for lunch and less crowded.continue on that path until back in parking lot.I think you make a left at the fork in the trail,but even if you mess up and end up at a street,just make a right and you'll reach the lot soon. took my family 3 hours at slowish pace.dont take kids too young because some of the walking is at the cliff edge literally.This is a must must beautiful amazing hike even for the biggest hike sceptic-do it!Have a good time!
The cover picture you use Cliff for the beginning of the you tube video; is the picture from Hawk Mountain? I'm was just curious before this video I watched when you were at Hawk Mountain this cover picture is the same.
the native americans and the first settlers must have been very blessed by this place! Imagine! In times of the Native American,s they must have known about this place - considered it Sacred! Camping out or having a village like this near a waterfalls. Despite some of the problems of early America and some bad Indian tribes (most were not totally evil or barberous), living here in America and in this part of the valley must have been a dream compared to living in the polluted and violent cities of Medieval Europe. No wonder the Pilgrims got the hell out of "dodge" of Catholic controlled Europe. America must have been a paradise to the first settlers that looked upon the forests and rivers.
I am watching Dec 2, I remember that your birthday is some time at the end of November, so Happy Birthday.
Beautiful, and I bet in the springtime after the rain it's really beautiful. Great video and God bless you.
I think all waterfalls are beautiful but i agree that is the tallest i have seen there Cliff. Thanks for sharing my friend.

Sounds cool 😎
Like how they have the different level of viewing platforms. Very beautiful and tranquil waterfalls are, thank you for sharing.
hi Cliff, another amazing waterfall, I love your channel, thanks for sharing
Like the viewing platforms, very pretty area.
We visited most of these falls when I was little. I don't remember Raymondskill or Hacker's though. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Cliff, a very beautiful setting, the sound of the rushing water is so relaxing. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖

This was gorgeous
Absolutely fantastic ! Thank you for sharing.

I've been up to the Water Gap many times but I've never been to these falls. Needless to say I'll be checking them out next summer, very nice!
Darbytown Falls are the tallest. Raymondskill Falls only say it for tourism and put the "if you add all the tiers together" at the end of the tallest fall claim. Nice that it wasn't crowded for you.
How gorgeous!!!!! PA is just calling to me😊Have you been to Fallingwater? There's a house I could definetly live in!!!!!
My parents have. Unfortunately, suffers from numerous leaks.
Haven't been there yet.
One day I'm coming to visit all the great waterfalls in PA , I'll need a guide !!! .

That would look amazing in the winter ice.

Very nice video! I wish they could do something like this to Glen Onoko falls. I miss going to 'my quiet spot'.
Such a shame. Is there any talk of ever reopening? Platforms are the way to go.
Cliff, no Mike? He'll be sad. He's Mr. Waterfall! 😀
Very Nice
Cliff you need to visit Letchworth falls in New York state near Rochester to see some fantastic falls. There are 3 of them.
I plan on getting there someday..
Lived there for 17 years before the park took it over. Hope you stopped at Childs park.
Too bad the lower trail is closed now:(
Fun fact: I believe that bathroom at the beginning cost close to $700k.
I was a little high. Here is the link www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1997-10-26-1997299098-story.html
I've had the pleasure of hiking along the whole waterfall before they forbade it. It is a gorgeous and wonderful feature of NEPA.

Did anyone else see what looked like the head of a dinosaur in that rock that juts out at the top of the waterfall? 3:30ish.
I don't recall seeing anything, but I wasn't looing for it either when I was there.
will stay up forgot tv. 1hour ago good i win n ur videos nature etc brian
Did You check out Lake Wallenpaupack yet ?
Not yet
How does this compare to Bushkill Falls? In PA.
I prefer Bushkill
Ciff, was there an entry fee to see the falls ? ??
Nope
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Hmmmmm interesting. Says something about $16 on the website or is that something different
There is no entry fee for Raymondskill, Bushkill falls is around a $16 entry fee.
I'm assuming this is NOT handicap accessible?
Not really
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 thanks for the info!
sounds of Waters is K. O. to me
I thought bushkills Falls was the tallest in PA?, no?
