I only needed to reach the outskirts of New York City by the end of the day, which gave me plenty of time to visit a few places along the way. For that, I picked two short hiking trails along Lehigh River, those being &#8220;Lehigh Gap East Loop&#8221; and &#8220;Tank Hollow&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Lehigh_Gap_East_Loop\">Lehigh Gap East Loop<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/explore\/trail\/us\/pennsylvania\/lehigh-gap-east-loop-via-appalachian-trail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AllTrails<\/a>, this is a 4.3km loop with 291m elevation gain. As its name suggested, this trail was at &#8220;Lehigh Gap&#8221; where the Appalachian Trail crossed the Lehigh River. A portion of the trail was through fields of talus. In my opinion this trail featured two spots for YDS class 3 scrambling (which was rare along the east coast), and hence its &#8220;difficult&#8221; rating.<\/p>\n<p>The parking lot for this hike was just off PA Route 248, after a 100m-long gravel road that&#8217;s riddled with potholes that required some caution to avoid. On the good side, it&#8217;s fairly empty.<\/p>\n<p>I started my hike around 1:30pm, taking the loop in the counterclockwise direction so as to scramble uphill.

Except for one muddy spot that I had to navigate around, it&#8217;s a pleasant finish.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-4\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/20230102_150330.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/thumbnails\/20230102_150330.jpg\" width=\"89%\" alt=\"Hill across Lehigh Gap\" \/><\/a><\/br>Hill across Lehigh Gap<\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/20230102_151318.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/thumbnails\/20230102_151318.jpg\" width=\"89%\" alt=\"Lehigh River\" \/><\/a><\/br>Lehigh River<\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/DSC_4773.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/thumbnails\/DSC_4773.jpg\" alt=\"Lehigh River\" \/><\/a><\/br>Lehigh River<\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/DSC_4772.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/thumbnails\/DSC_4772.jpg\" width=\"94%\" alt=\"Overlooking Lehigh River\" \/><\/a><\/br>Overlooking Lehigh River<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">PA Route 248 and Norfolk Southern Lehigh Line Railway.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/DSC_4771.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/ny\/thumbnails\/DSC_4771.jpg\" width=\"86%\" alt=\"Foundations along Lehigh River\" \/><\/a><\/br>Foundations along Lehigh River<\/br>\n<div style=\"font-size: smaller;text-align: left\">Across the river, there were what looked like foundations of a railway bridge that once crossed the river.

On my way back, I figured I can use a stop at the historic city of Paterson NJ so as to avoid evening traffic while passing Philadelphia.<br \/>\nPaterson was the site where the Passaic River made a 23m-high waterfall. The power of the water was harnessed, resulting in America&#8217;s first planned industrial city.<\/p>\n<p>First, I took a brief tour of Paterson Museum, showcasing the city&#8217;s industrial past. Some notable exhibits included the engine that supported the first plane flight across the Atlantic, and John Holland&#8217;s first submarines that were commonly considered as the first modern submarines. The submarine part was particularly interesting as the creator, John Holland, started out as a Catholic school teacher in Paterson. His interest in submarines and various funding sources eventually led him to the various submarines displayed in the museum (and finally, Holland VI, in the United States Navy).<\/p>\n<div
