Anyone from NYC know if theres a bus or a train that heads out towards the Poconos? My buddy lives in Manhatten and we want to do some riding out there but I'm not interested in driving from South Jersey to New York and then out to PA for just a day trip.

also if those buses don't work with your schedule there are private bus lines (Lakeland and Martz) as well as NJ Transit (via train) that will take you into western Morris County (or farther via the private buses). The midtown direct trains run from NY Penn to Dover which is exit 36 off Rt 80 so about an hour and change from say Camelback and straight up Rt 15 to Mt Creek (about 40 mins).

How's upper horizon at creek compared to greens at camelback? Easier or harder? I found some green trails at camelback to be rather steep. Nim still learning. Creek should be opened this weekend right?

Creek's hills aren't steep. I think I heard this week is their final week of the season

i figured they'd be closing soon. so thats gonna be almost 2 full triple play cards in the garbage. sucks. vernon has only been open till 5 the last few times i looked at the site so i knew theyd be closing soon. it kinda sucks that they dont offer any discount or refund if you dont use a triple play card. they offer it on season passes...

conditions werent that bad when i went like 2 weeks ago but the rocks and mud coming thru the base was really annoying.
