Buttermilk Falls Natural Area

There are many different waterfalls in Pennsylvania called Buttermilk Falls, but the one we are talking about today is quite special as the land was once owned by Fred McFeely, the grandfather of Fred Rogers, who of course we know as Mister Rogers. As a child he spent time here at his grandfathers cottage. Getting to the Buttermilk Falls...

Lanterman’s Mill in the Winter

We haven’t gone on an adventure together since last year – actually only a couple months but Happy New Year! Kayla decided to go on a cold adventure by herself one day just to play with her camera but we decided the next week to go on a very… very cold adventure. 5 degree windchill didn’t hold us back from our trip. It...

Visiting Freedom Falls

With the cold weather setting in Kayla and I definitely needed one more adventure before the holidays and winter. Since it was already getting pretty cold we decided to pick a place that was relatively close, this place ended up being Freedom Falls, which is about an hour and a half away from Pittsburgh in Kennerdell, PA. When you get on...

Adventuring at Coopers Rock

The leaves are finally changing and the colors of the hills of West Virginia couldn’t have been more perfect. It’s amazing that Coopers Rock was only about an hour and 20 minutes away. The drive is even beautiful and we couldn’t get enough of the colors changing the deeper we got into the forest. This park isn’t as...

Buttermilk Falls State Park + 2 Extra Waterfalls!

The first stop was Buttermilk Falls State Park, which was one of the most busy areas we have gone to with tourists. Buttermilk Falls was also the closest waterfall to our hotel, with only...

We did discuss staying in this day at breakfast but we decided to stick it out and go on another adventure. Today we decided to go to Fillmore Glen State Park. Fillmore Glen State Park was our...

Taughannock Falls & Robert H. Treman State Park

The second day in New York had to be one of our favorite and most memorable days on this trip. One thing we gifted on this trip was to start each of our days with a grateful heart for being able to go on these adventures and seeing all the beauty this world has to offer. Our next beautiful adventure brought us to Taughannock Falls State...

This Place is Magical – Nelson Ledges State Park

Our soaking socks, dirty, cut up hands, and our aching legs, didn’t even bother us this trip. We loved this geologically impressive area near Garrettsville, Ohio named Nelson Ledges State Park! Our car ride was only about an hour and a half from Pittsburgh and we did decide to take the turnpike for most our trip and recommend you...

PA’s Hidden Oasis (Big Spring)

**UPDATE** It has come to our attention that someone vandalized the rocks at Big Spring. For this reason we have updated this post and removed directions on how to get there since it is on private property. It feels good to be lost in the right direction. It was also to find one of the most beautiful places we have gone together. Even...
