Summary: The day ended up being another rainy day, received over 2 inches rain. It was a good time to get out and check out the streams and falls. It ended up pouring through the entire hike, well worth it when I got to the falls. The trail starts out by going through a old colonial town (Millbrook) that was restored. Every October they do a reenactment in the village and bring it back to life. After going through the village I got onto the VanCampens Glen Trail that takes you through an awesome ravine. With all the rain it was gushing and some sections of trail were underwater. Once out of the Ravine you go through some old farm fields and then along the Delaware River through a landslide that occurred not long ago. I ended by bushwhacking up a Ravine were I found a real nice water fall. Rout: Millbrook to Yellow VanCampens Glen, Across Rd Blue Hamilton onto Orange Pioneer to Ravine, Follow ravine to Hamilton Rd, Right on Blue Hamilton, Left on orange Orchard to Pa.
