The Inn and Carbon County Courthouse Clocktower, on Broadway in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Glen Onoko is one of the trickiest trails in Poconos, PA. If not followed signs, it is very easy to get lost. But it is all worth. All thru trail, beautiful waterfalls refresh us. Poconos never fail to amuse us. #GreatOutdoors #Troveon #Waterfalls #Poconos #pennsylvania
