both sides now

Mount Tammany is the southernmost peak of the Kittatinny Mountains. It is 1,526 feet tall, and forms the east side of the Delaware Water Gap. Across the Gap is Mount Minsi, on the Pennsylvania side of the river.

I’ve hiked Mount Tammany a handful of times and have always enjoyed the challenge of the trail and the views from the top.


Last weekend, I crossed the Gap to hike Mount Minsi. Standing there, looking at Mount Tammany, I thought...sometimes you can’t fully appreciate the mountain while you’re standing on top of it...sometimes you need to see it from both sides.
