Summer Bucket List #25: Visit Bushkill Falls

Just checked another thing off my Summer Bucket List. For those of you not from Pennsylvania or have never been to the Pocono Mountains, Bushkill Falls is known as the Niagara of Pennsylvania. Well I don't know if I would go that far, but I have to say the water falls were truly beautiful! I can't believe it's taken me 28 years to visit a local attraction I grew up with -- but better late than never right?

 Didn't realize until now that we might have a fear of heights!

If you look closely you can see a rainbow over the waterfall.

Hiked down a little farther.

 After about 4892058922546 stairs we finally made it to the bottom!

Wishing I was in a tank top and yoga pants right about now.

Completely regretting my choice in outfit for hiking.

Outfit Details:

Crocheted Top: Old Navy // Hat: Gap

 Just gorgeous!

 The wooden bridges and stairs we had to follow.

D mentioned he felt like we were in the Ewok village from Star Wars!

I have to agree - it definitely felt like we were miles away from everything in a different world.

 taking a break to rest our feet.

Once we made it back to the main area, there was a blue grass band playing. 

So we stopped to visit, and indulge in ice cream.

 Afterwards, we hit up the little gift shop/country store where they had all kinds of homemade and local goodies.

This wild huckleberry chocolate intrigued me. What exactly is a huckleberry? 

 And I wanted to get this locally made wild huckleberry honey - which I think would be perfect and so yummy in my green tea, but for $10 I had to pass.

 After a gorgeous day of being outdoors, we really couldn't "bear" to leave : )

Even though I thought I looked cute, I really should have dressed more accordingly. Has anyone else regretted their outfit choices and realized it wasn't practical at all for what you were doing??
