Chimney Hollow Falls

Tioga State Forest
Wellsboro, PA

Admin (David Miller)

0.3 miles / 0.5 km

September 30, 2020

Took a short hike up to the waterfall in late September, 2020 but the water was totally dried up even after a full day of heavy rainfall the day prior. This waterfall is only running during the Spring through mid-June before the water dries up.

Hiking

Rim Trail

Colton Point State Park
Wellsboro, PA

Admin (David Miller)

1.0 mile / 1.6 km

September 30, 2020

Took a short lunch break hike along the eastern side of the Rim Trail at Colton Point State Park to the 3 overlooks. Pine Creek Gorge’s (PA Grand Canyon) foliage has been stellar during late September, 2020. The yellows are starting to fade to brown but the canyon still has pops of orange, yellow, and hints of red foliage. Hiked this out-and-back for about 1 mile.

Hiking

Barbour Rock Accessible Trail

Tioga State Forest
Wellsboro, PA

Admin (David Miller)

1.3 miles / 2.1 km

September 28, 2020

Hiked out to the Lone Pine twice in one day trying to chase the sunlight in Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon), but the clouds kept covering the canyon with dull colors. The autumn foliage in late September, 2020 has been fire though.

Hiking

Barbour Rock Trail

Tioga State Forest
Wellsboro, PA

Admin (David Miller)

1.2 miles / 1.9 km

September 28, 2020

Took an autumn jaunt out along the Barbor Rock Trail (loop, not the accessible trail) to check out some fire foliage in Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon). The state forest maintained this trail in early 2020 to make it a bit easier to follow. The trailheads along the accessible trail are no longer overgrown and the path seems more warn than it was in 2019 likely due to the influx of visitors driven by COVID-19. Also hopped onto the WRT and took some photos of the Lone Pine.

Mt. Tom Loop

Tioga State Forest
Wellsboro, PA

Admin (David Miller)

0.7 miles / 1.1 km

September 17, 2020

Explored the new Mt Tom Trail rerouting with Jax. The new route is certainly more difficult than the previous since the hike up to the service road is steeper.

Mt. Tom Loop

Tioga State Forest
Wellsboro, PA

Admin (David Miller)

4.0 miles / 6.4 km

September 09, 2019

This is the original Mt Tom Trail loop GPX track from 2019, prior to the Mt Tom Trail rerouting in the Summer of 2020. The difference here is that the old trail used to start slightly uphill on PA Route 362 instead of at/across the street from the parking area. The trail used to meander along a moderate grade before reaching the service road; however, the new route is much steeper earlier on - making the new path along the Mt Tom Trail still a 'strenuous' hike, but now tougher than before! Old route length: 4 miles.
