Nice Fall day to explore here for 1st time - mix of trail running & hiking for challenging off-trail down from overlook to check out Schull’s Rock from below, then head towards Shock’s Mill bridge which was easier with river so low. Easier going once back on Mason-Dixon trail back over to Kinsley Nature Preserve with 2 more great river vistas & peaceful woods!

Have stopped at House Rock on many Conestoga Trail adventures heading to Tucquan Glen! This recording includes both the vista & Wind Cave - you can also make this a full loop now that there are more defined trails at Clark Nature Preserve up through the meadow area. Fun hike starting down Goodno trail & then up Conestoga Trail with excellent overlook of Susquehanna River, then exploring cave which was perfectly refreshing blowing out cold air with the hot/humid temps outside! Also got to enjoy lots of wild berries along the trail! You can explore the top section of the cave safely just to get the feel of pure darkness, but if you want to fully explore, you need to have proper gear (headlamp, helmet), a map of the cave which is extensive and has multiple levels with only 2 openings, and don't go alone! Believed to be the largest tectonic cave on the East Coast!

Been to Chickies Rock many times over the years - great for a short hike to a great Susq. River view (very popular, so often busy). Started with hike to Chickies Rock overlook, then drove over to Breezyview Dr overlook to hike down steep Heritage trail to rail trail where daughter rode her scooter while I ran with her. Stopped at the big rock tunnel heading south, then all the way north to the base of Chickies Rock (which is super impressive to see from below - often will find rock climbers here) before turning around and climb back up hill.

A nice place to stop for a view of the Susquehanna River and have a lunch at the Gazebo or benches. Can park here for hike down to NW Lancaster County River Trail close to the old rail tunnel.

Beautiful, sunny afternoon hike with my daughter! Easy hiking overall - mostly open fields to amazing Star Rock overlook along Susquehanna River (faces over to Cuffs Run which is a great Mason-Dixon Trail hike)! Took trail down to Enola Low Grade, then up Mann’s Run falls & Turkey Hill Trail back to start. Perfect hike to enjoy together after doing Turkey Hill Experience earlier!

Climbed mountain (off-trail straight up) just before sunrise for amazing view over Lycoming Valley with Fall foliage colors near peak! Got to enjoy a rainbow as sun came out with a little rain! Once back down, drove up & hiked down to both middle & upper falls of Rock Run (1 of 2 most beautiful streams in all of PA that I love visiting). A big Bald Eagle was perched on a tree above the falls - such a fascinating & unexpected encounter being so close!

Still one of my favorite waterfall hikes - 3rd time doing & Fall easily the best to the beautiful colors of the trees to go along with the 5-6 awesome waterfalls! Off-trail fun rock scrambling with some steep parts, then easy old grade to take back down. Previously hiked with my daughter when she was 5 & did awesome, then the most challenging was doing in complete snow/ice (before I had micro-spikes which make winter hikes so much safer & easier)! Always combine with Rock Run's Middle & Upper Falls when visiting here - truly 1 of my favorite places in PA to explore!

Combined Middle & East Branch (driving between, although could be hiked too). Love the unique & beautiful upper section of East Branch Falls, but all of the falls here are awesome too! Both short hikes from different parking spots, but both very challenging with steep banks getting to base of falls & around to various angles to get best pictures. Also did Mill Creek falls but didn’t record - similar with short but very steep hike to falls. I need to get back here!

Such a special place, and a truly perfect day to enjoy the waterfalls flowing fully after all the recent rain, plus had fresh snow to coat the forest! Super challenging off-trail starting straight up the mountain to spectacular vista, then over to Band Rock vista. Magnificent waterfalls & gorges along Abbott Run (so rugged & remote), then went up Dutchman’s Run where the double falls was incredible! Looped back down the old grade since I’ve seen the upper falls previously & was short on time.

Recording from hike up to vista separate (took trail all the way down hiking in dry stream bed and along sides all the way to rail trail for climb up spine on unmarked trail to vista). I never want to leave from the vista since it is so special! Took time going down from Pine Island vista since lots of leaves down. Went all the way to Pine Creek for a bit, then hike back mostly straight up creek since so dry, then took time up last stretch of trail back to start. Beautiful Fall day!

Easy downhill to start on unmarked trail after forest road drive up which was in good shape, then old grade down to Pine Island Run which was so dry that easier to just walk straight down creek. Never mind the steep climb up the spine with loose rocks & downed leaves, b/c it leads to my favorite view in all of PA! Spent lots of time enjoying view on a beautiful Fall morning! Recording stopped, so hike back down & then to start separate. 5.44 miles total (walked down to Pine Creek for up close view before heading back).
