LEONARD HARRISON STATE PARK (www.dcnr.pa.gov)
We woke up Tuesday morning and found a gorgeous day emerging. Our plans to visit Leonard Harrison State Park came to fruition.
Walking through the gift shop area on way to overlook.
View of the Pine Creek Gorge in part of the PA Grand Canyon.
These rapids are a close up of Pine Creek at same location as the above picture, taken with my old Canon Power Shot SX 30 IS digital camera (thanks Richard for the research when I was buying a better camera)
As you enter this area you can take a detour from the top to the bottom of the gorge/canyon using Turkey Path. It is only 1.5 hours round trip, but as the sign says, "...sections of this trail are narrow, steep and hazardous...". I think they were warning Peggy and me that it is not a good idea for us to hike under such conditions. We are fine on level blacktop park roads. Hee hee
This is Turkey Path trail. I walked out to where the path disappears, the path disappeared almost straight down.

Have you ever seen two finer tourists?????
Time for a quiz- which is not a bear but tastes great?
We ran into a big bunch of people (they looked just like us). We think George V. dropped them off. We talked to some, they are on a four day tour from Maryland. Their next stop is in Ithaca to see Cornell, gorgeous falls, and other sites in one day and head back home. Wow.
Time to say goodnight. The next post will be about a wonderful two hour Horse Drawn Covered Wagon ride down the Pine Creek Rail Trail (www.olecoveredwagon.com).
God Bless.
