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...
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...
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...
**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...
While Kayla is the one who typically writes the blogs, I decided to go ahead and write this one as she surprised me for my birthday with this trip. The trip to Erie started out with her telling me we were going somewhere for my birthday and to pack enough clothes for 2 days. Once in the car and realizing we were going north I had an idea...
