After that I think you get emailed a waiver which every driver needs to sign and then you're good to go. 877stockcar.com/experiences/pocono-slingshot-rentals/ Sign some more stuff, have your card ready for the $750 hold they put on it for liability concerns, get fitted for a helmet, get some basic instruction about how to operate the vehicle and then you're off. The website shows six pre-planned routes. Day of, these routes are in the glove box on a laminated card with QR codes that you scan with your phone if you wish to follow one of them. Ideally, you hook up your phone to the car via USB/Bluetooth or of course you can fly blind and go where you want as long as you're back by the end of the rental period. With that said, we loaded up the State Park Ride and kid you not, the first stop out of the nine takes you nowhere. You come to a small stone road that is chained off with nothing there except a small admin. building for the state forestry service. After that brief hiccup, we mostly followed the rest and had a decent experience particularly at Big Pocono State Park and Promised Land State Park. At the end you do need to return the vehicle with a full tank and yes, they want you to only use premium. For a sense of scope, we did the eight-hour rental and drove I forget how many miles and it cost about $17 to refill the tank before we returned the car. Overall, this is a hell of a lot of fun. I mean sure there are a few quirks as in the automatic car we used downshifted fairly rough and when idling at times you can definitely pick up the exhaust fumes from the engine, but that stuff is very minor and there is really nothing to do here except have fun and explore.

Some of the reviews mention GPS systems but it was just your phone hooked up to the car (bring your own USB cord) or with Bluetooth. Their suggested routes are perfect amounts of time to stop and do a short hike or catch a bite to eat and balance out the time driving. The ride was a little bumpy, especially as the gears shifted in the automatic models, but it added to the thrill of driving a cool ride.

They minimize the instruction, but you still get to drive the sled yourself. Look at the dang ole picture I posted. How cool is that? Sure, it's fun to careen down a hill on a sled, especially after a few glasses of hard eggnog. But it's yet another thing to mush (be dragged by) six out-of-control dogs that totally love running as much as you love being pulled along. First, you meet the dogs, all adorable. (Many were rescued from shelters, all of them want to run-run-run. And all of them are good with people -- these aren't exactly Iditarod dogs. Your sled will only have 3-8 dogs instead of the usual 14.) Then, after a few more basic pointers, mostly having to do with standing without falling and braking, you get your sea legs by "driving" the sled behind a snowmobile. Finally you're thrown out there, your safety net being the dude on a snowmobile. The course is a golf course, no steering involved. I love you Willow, Snuggles, Yazzie, Mingus, Otis, and Stumpy. Mush!!

Overall it was still a good experience that I'd recommend, especially if you're a dog lover. Definitely get more than enough time with the dogs and the tour ride itself is also pretty lengthy.

We have been to this place few years back but now it became toooo crowded and sometimes it takes a lot of time to go through the crowd . Well maintained pathways . There are 3-4 different loops and based on the time you have you can choose one path .. yellow loops are average difficulty .. it does have some path which is a little steep steps, but not difficult for middle age people.. might be a little stressful for elderly people with knee pain issues.. there is also a red loop which is a lot more of Walk and takes more time.. there are maps showing each path and approximate distance.. parking is a bit crazy, especially near the entrance.. parking is free.. tickets are about $21 which isn't too bad .

Tickets are $22 per person, which feels a bit pricey, and bags are checked before you go in. The grounds have shops, picnic areas for lunch, and even a mining gemstone area for kids. Bathrooms are available, though they could have been cleaner. The experience itself isn't a typical hiking trail -- instead, it's a series of wooden walkways and bridges that guide you to each waterfall. The views are beautiful, but be prepared for crowds. On weekends especially, it can feel shoulder-to-shoulder most of the time. I'd only recommend bringing very well-behaved or small dogs since there isn't much room to move around people. We ended up leaving earlier than planned because of how packed it was, but I could see Bushkill Falls being a nice day trip, especially during the week when it's less busy. The waterfalls are definitely worth seeing, just go with the right expectations!

When you grow up in Northeast PA (NEPA), you go to the Coal Mine Tour. Now from my childhood I only remembered that there was an incline that you descended and that it was slightly cold underground, so I decided to revisit the tour as an adult on a recent trip home to NEPA. I have to say that it is an incredibly eye-opening tour as an adult. You don your hardhat and take a car down a shaft into the mine itself. Your guide then takes you through parts of the mine and educates you on how mining was done in this area at the turn of the century. This was backbreaking, awful work and I couldn't be happier that this is no longer a job for people in this area. Having grown up in the area, it's incredibly humbling to look a breaker boy and think that it would have been my job if I was born 100 years earlier. The Coal Mine tour is a very educational activity and one that I would recommend to anyone who's visiting or to anyone who may have done the tour as a child and who would want to revisit it as an adult.
