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...
Another new adventure and this time we are in West Virginia! West Virginia has so many amazing places I am actually surprised we’ve only been to one so far (Coopers Rock), but we will be checking two more destinations off the list on this weekend trip! Kayla had told me about Seneca Rocks and the amazing view from top so we had to...
After leaving our magical Airbnb we were heading back to Pittsburgh and we figured instead of wasting the day we would see what we could find on the way home. Doing some research we found David Fortier River Park, which seemed to be very unique and actually turned out to be! The park has quite a lot from a covered bridge to waterfalls...
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...
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...
And on the third day we had rain….This was one of our coldest and rainy days we had on our this trip but it was still such a great experience. 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...
To New York, we go again…seeing three waterfalls in one day seems like a pretty crazy idea and it was! We decided to take the five hour trip from Pittsburgh to New York to see some of the majestic falls we have ever seen. This trip was special because Bob actually planned this entire trip for my birthday! It was a special surprise...
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...
Peace is always beautiful, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park was just that. Cuyahoga was our first National Park we traveled to and we were absolutely amazed. It’s crazy to think that all the falls and these trails are only an hour and a half away from Pittsburgh. The park is a fortress for flowers and wildlife, and provides many...
Some people say, “Sometimes the best things are right in front of you, it just takes some time to see them”. We are living extremely close to one of the most beautiful natural waterfalls and we didn’t even know it. This blog is about McConnells Mill State Park, which is in Portersville, Pennsylvania. This was a great day trip due...
