Barbour Rock Accessible Trail

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.

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.
