Drove by the parking lot around 1:30PM on a Saturday during mid-October and the lot was completely full (20 cars) plus about 20 cars parked along the road. Barbour Rock is insanely overcrowded during COVID-19 and unfortunately, if you're looking for solitude, you likely won't find it here on the weekends.

Quick early morning foliage hike out to Nelson Falls. New signs were added along with ropes to keep folks back from the dangerous terrain close to the waterfall. The view is not obstructed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
