One of the less known, but rather impressive waterfalls in Western Pennsylvania is Yoder Falls, which is in Somerset County near Johnstown. This is one of those waterfalls that many locals know about, but there is no official park for the waterfalls. The land that the waterfall sits on is owned by the City of Johnstown and is open to...
One of our favorite places to go in Pittsburgh is Schenley Park. We actually lived right next to the park so within walking distance, then we moved a little further away, now we are out of the city and about a 25 minute car ride away. While Schenley park has some great trails and a lake one of our favorite things to do there is watch the...
Well 2020 has been an interesting year! We ended up going to Florida right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and since then we really have not been able to travel anywhere. Like most of you we’ve been at home self-quarantining, but with cases going down and us getting cabin fever we wanted to do something fun! We absolutely loved...
2019 was a great year for us, with each place we visited we grew even closer together. This year we visited so many amazing places, but there were definitely a few that stuck with us. We each compiled a list of our top 3 favorite places we’ve been to this year, which actually ended up being the same, but in a different order...
After our Fall hike of Jonathan Run we definitely were looking for another awesome fall hike. Doing some research I learned about both the Wolf Rocks trail and Beam Rocks trail, which are located right around Laurel Summit State Park. At the end of each one of these trails you get rewarded with awesome views of the valley below. Luckily...
When you think of Ohiopyle State Park the two big waterfalls that come to mind are the main Ohiopyle Falls and Cucumber Falls, but if you want to go off the beaten path a little bit and take a hike down Jonathan Run you’ll find some pretty impressive waterfalls and you’ll likely not have the crowds you find at the other...
As I mentioned in our last blog post our entire trip to the middle of Pennsylvania revolved around Ricketts Glen State Park, so in the process of planning the trip I was doing my fair amount of research trying to find places nearby that were worth exploring. Miners Run ended up being one of those places, but the next place really took us...
If you’ve been searching for waterfalls in Pennsylvania then you’ve probably heard of Ricketts Glen State Park. The park is home to 24 waterfalls and actually our entire 5-day trip was centered around going to Ricketts Glen State Park. On our adventure to Ricketts Glen we saw 22 waterfalls in a single day with all but one...
We were so sad to leave our awesome Airbnb, but this was an adventure week for us so our next destination was hidden deep inside the Loyalsock State Forest. There is plenty to see at in the Loyalsock State Forest, but we were most intrigued by Miners Run, which really is not known all that well. If there is something we’ve learned...
Do you want to get away, (like away away), so away that you have no wifi, no cell service, a burning campfire, a private creek right outside your bedroom window, homemade maple syrup, and a field filled with amish children laughing and playing in the flowers right next door? This is the place to be. We wanted to go somewhere different...
