About Gunk Maps

Gunk Maps is a geography-based travel blog documenting the landscapes of the Shawangunk Mountains, Kittatinny Mountains, and the surrounding region.

This site serves as a resource for those interested in the "nuts and bolts" of our local geography. We focus on providing a clear look at the ridge systems, trail networks, and historical sites that define the area between the Catskills and the valley floor.
