Review:
Glen Onoko Falls trailhead is located in State Game Lands 141 outside the village of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. It is one of the most dangerous and most beautiful hikes in the state. While the trail starts off easily enough, it is very challenging, slippery, narrow, with many rocks and boulders, and in some places, you will need to pull yourself up the hill. Proper hiking boots are essential. Start by going under the train tracks and head uphill into the woods. Follow the stream and stay on the path. You will pass Glen Onoko Run, which, when the water levels are high, falls down the hill in a series of cascades. While steep and difficult, the trail is short, only about half a mile, ending at the base of Chameleon Fall, which is two streams that merge, creating an impressive curtain of water.
