@ POCONO STATE PARK, PENNSYLVANIA
This park on top of Camelback Mountain, Pennsylvania is at about 1980 ft height. The view reminded me of Mahabaleshwar, though the height of this hill resort of India is more than twice that of Camelback mountain.
The observation point offers nearly 300 degree view, with Rim road, clearing at the top,walk-arounds. The observation point is a good picnic spot too, which benches and tables placed facing both the visible ranges of hills on western and eastern sides.
This 'Mountain Back' is about 1 hour 45 minutes drive from our residence @ Hackensack - 82 miles or 145 Km. We drove along I-80, sometimes quite free, clogged with traffic occasionally. Crossed Delaware water gap - difficult to photograph while the car was speeding .The road up the hill was winding, as expected. We had little traffic during our climb up. There were traces of rain during the evening and many car owners started descending one after the other.
Earth covered with green grass, wild flowers blooming.
Sky covered with slate-coloured cloud.

Sun-set's splendour we missed.
An orange glow lit up the gap between the mountain range and cloud.

a few glimpse of the Water Park among the trees near by
