Eastern Redbuds were in bloom and the walking trail’s path has been extended. As of 2026 there are interpretive signs that tell a story, starting on the northern trailhead. New view of the creek as well.
Nice foggy hike up to the top of Mt. Tom with Jax. Hit up the vista, but it was a rainy, foggy day with a clouded-in view. Nice to get outside for some exercise.
First hike out to the graffiti bridge in quite a while. Started in the south by the main parking lot - gate was closed for the season. Lots of new graffiti to see and the bridge seemed clear of dirt from the flooding that occurred 2 years ago.
First time visiting the waterfall since prior to the bridge and staircase installation. Beautiful ~40-foot tall cascade, frozen over. Popular spot now.
First time back in years! Fall Run waterfall was completely frozen over. Also explored the Hidden Falls to the base of each. Fun time back in Pittsburgh. Jax loved it, lots of dogs.
Haven't hiked this service road in a few years but took our first hike of 2026 up with Jax. In 2025 the road was updated to accommodate logging so instead of tall grasses and uneven ruts, the trail is now mostly large stone gravel, wide, and includes some obstructed views during the winter.
Short but awesome hike with great views of Mt Monadnock and more. Highly recommend. Got out with Tom and Jon per our annual Christmas hike. Always nice leaving a trip report for someone else’s trail guide, thanks Tom. Also added a communtiy route that includes an additional 0.5 miles that loops around the mtn instead of the out-and-back. Both routes are worth the small effort for these views!
2nd trip to Wedge, this time with Sarah Hueniken! Lots of fun on multiple climbs and learning more from one of the best alpine climbers in North America. Beautiful views of Mt. Kidd especially from the climb.
First hike along the Bee Tree Hollow Trail in a while (outside of hiking to the top of Ansonia Knob). Since my original write-up, as of 2025, the eastern slopes have been logged even more which opened up views. Now you can see Mt. Tom and the Wellsboro Airport much better than before. Great views, but they won't last very long (maybe less than 10 years) before they fill-in again.
