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...
Our little West Virginia weekend trip continues! Yesterday we were at Seneca Rocks and today we are checking out Blackwater Falls State Park! This is one place we’ve had on our list for a while now so we were excited to explore all that it had to offer. The park is of course named after Blackwater Falls, but we found so much more...
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...
We’ve visited a lot of different waterfalls over the past year and a half, but how about one that empties right into Lake Erie? When researching for an interesting place that was not that far from Pittsburgh I found a not very well-known park called Columbia Park. This park is actually a small dog park, and one of the smallest...
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...
Sometimes trips just come out of nowhere and that is how our trip to Kilgore Falls in Maryland happened. We ended up having to travel from Pittsburgh down to Washington, DC and figured lets stop and go on an adventure along the way. After doing some research Kilgore Falls (sometimes called Falling Branch Falls) seemed to be ranked...
Our next adventure brought us to the state of Maryland. We wanted to see some waterfalls of course, which brought us to Swallow Falls State Park. The park is notable for its stand of old hemlock trees, some are more than 300 years old. The day couldn’t have been more perfect when it came to the weather and sunshine! The water was...
Another 24 hour adventure in the books! This was an exhausting 24 hours for sure this trip but it ended beautifully. I had a couple meetings near Sandusky, Ohio for work which led us to driving all night to the border of Ohio. The trip on the way to Sandusky only took about 3.5 hours avoiding tolls. After completing my meetings, we...
