5/29 – Ricketts Glen State Park, PA

To see most of the waterfalls, a 3.2-mile loop can be taken by going on Highland Trail and the Glen Leigh and Ganoga Glen sides of the trail. The trails follow along 21 beautiful waterfalls ranging in heights from 11 feet to 94 feet. The scenery is well worth the effort, however, the terrain is rocky, can be slippery, and descends steeply on both the Ganoga and Glen Leigh sides.

Hiking Pennsylvania’s “Grand Canyon” West Rim Trail – 30 miles in two days!

This was my first adventure with the MD/DC/VA hiking meetup group! The scenery along Pine Creek Gorge (located outside Wellsboro in North Central PA ) was mostly dense forest w/ the occasional overlook of the canyon.


it was the pine creek gorge, outside wellsboro in north central pa – http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/oldgrowth/pinecreek.aspx. scenery was mostly dense forest w/ the occasional overlook of the canyon, if that is your thing. i think i’ve been spoiled w/ all the canyon hiking of the southwest!
