Beautiful night hike along the Marginal Way after sunset to avoid the crowds. During COVID-19 the trail is still open and requires walkers to wear masks and keep 6-feet apart where they can. The trail is still very busy during the day despite COVID.
Cascade Falls in Saco, Maine is a beautiful waterfall hike with little effort and a big payout. When we hiked this trail, the bridge along the Green Loop was washed out but the waterfall is still accessible. Hikers can start at the parking lot, take a right-hand turn at the red blazes to follow them to the top of the falls. Take a right-hand turn along the Green Loop which heads downhill to Cascade Falls. The hike back is the same if the bridge is washed out.
Went back to Nickel Run Falls, Nessmuk's Winter Camp, and visited Upper Nickel Run Falls with Pete from the Mid State Trail Association. Helped reblaze the yellow paint along the Nickel Run Spur Trail and spur trail leading into the MST from parking. We checked out the old railroad embankment near Nessmuk's winter camp, and then hiked north to Upper Nickel Run Falls. The overgrowth along this trail no longer exists as of June 28th, 2020 since another volunteer from the MST Association came out and did an amazing job clearing out all of the brush along the trail.
Hiked Gunn Brook Falls to both Lower and Upper Falls during late August, 2019. Gunn Brook was mostly dried up, but the waterfalls were still flowing. See the 3rd photo album in the list for what to expect during the Summer at Gunn Brook.
The Leonard Harrison side of this trail is closed as of May 18th, 2020 likely due to erosion and unsafe terrain. No signage regarding re-opening as of yet. According to the Leonard Harrison State Park website, the "The trail will need extensive repair work before it can re-open".
Made a trip back to Pittsburgh and made a visit to Fall Run and the main waterfall. This is a lovely spot that has become more and more popular over the years - we showed up early in the morning on a Sunday, generally when the trails are pretty dead, but we saw at least 8 different groups of hikers. Fall Run is one of the best hiking trails near Pittsburgh, but is much more popular than it used to be.
