Mount Minsi is one of the most scenic hikes we do! If you are in it for the views, this is the one to do!

We’ll start this adventure on the historic Appalachian Trail. As we gain elevation, we’ll follow the curve of the Delaware River to the top of Mount Minsi. While this trip is rated ACTIVE, the hike up will push it into the INTERMEDIATE category, with some of the uphill. But our hard work will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Mount Tammany and the Delaware Water Gap. After a pause to enjoy the natural beauty and have some well-deserved nourishment, we’ll take an unblazed, single-track woods road back. We’ll visit a small, hidden lake and spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying our time in the wild.
