Description
Featuring all the allure and appeal of a national park, Ricketts Glen in central Pennsylvania is often cited as the best day hike in the East. With over 20 waterfalls within a 3.5 mile loop trail, this state park always ranks in the top tier. The park's 26 miles of trails are set in a rugged landscape, highlighted with rocky cliffs, old growth timber and 13,000 acres of scenic beauty.
Among waterfalls ranging from nine to 94 feet, Ganoga Falls is the tallest waterfall in the park and attracts a great deal of attention. Ricketts named the majority of the falls, taking names from Native Tribes, family and friends. The entire falls trail is just over seven miles, where the upper and lower falls areas cross Route 118. There are so many wonderful cascades and waterfalls following the branches of Kitchen Creek, Ricketts Glen State Park visitors can take in all or any part of the three glens.

I'm so happy to know old growth timber is preserved here. Most has been logged, and brave environmentalists lost their lives defending the trees. The Oregon coast has old growth sitka spruce that I love to hike in. What a wonderful hiking loop this sounds like. I do love waterfalls, and from this capture, this is a place to admire fall color.
