Mt. Minsi numero dos

I wasn't super happy about my first trip during sunrise to Mt. Minsi. I wanted some better light, I wanted to be there earlier, and I wanted more fog. I got my wish but only after 2 more failed hikes with thick fog, too thick to see anything at all. Luckily my friend Dan and I have been persistent and tried a third time. Although no incredible cloud formations appeared I am still happier with these results,this fog was much higher on the Mt. Tammany peak and showed some great contrast of warm light and cold fog cover. I'll hike another morning in hope of clouds but for now I'm happy and waiting for fall colors in the Delaware Water Gap.

my favorite showing the fog getting hit with sunlight and the cold fog hiding behind Mt. Tammany.

mt minsi sunrise

The other morning I decided to hike at 5Am on the appalachian trail to a popular view of Mt. Tammany on the other side of the delaware water gap.It took me an hour to hike Mt. Minsi for the view, thick fog and no moon really made this an interesting experience with my headlamp but once I got above the fog it was great.I got to the top just in time but had to wait extra because of some cloud cover over the horizon. Although I didn't get lucky with any awesome sunrise colors, I felt like the rolling fog over the river was a nice sight when it caught some golden sunshine. enjoy!
sun took some extra time peeking out because the cloud cover over the horizon
the fog rolling over the delaware river in the valley below really made this worthwhile.
although a great view, it's starting to overgrow some, this is a tight little window
after the golden period,fog still looking good


I plan on getting up there again hopefully soon and see what else I can get.
