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!

pat, yup, joined a few hiking groups off meetup.com — this trip was w/ the MD/DC/VA hiking group – http://www.meetup.com/Maryland-Hiking/

Grand Canyon National Park – May 2010

view of Colorado River along  South Kaibab Trail

We hiked 7.1 miles along South Kaibab Trail down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (4,800 ft elevation change).

We dipped our toes in the Colorado River (icy cold!) briefly before heading to Phantom Ranch, where we ate some lunch and had some lemonade.

My favorite part of the hike was along the Bright Angel Trail leaving the Colorado River :)

Then, 9.6 miles hiking up from the Colorado River to the Bright Angel Trailhead (4,400 ft elevation change).
