Hiking in Pennsylvania














During October, Mike and I went to Pennsylvania to visit his family and friends for a long weekend. He did some research on the internet, and
found out the best weekend for us to go for the fall foliage. So, we were able to go in the peak season for all of the beautiful fall colors.















Our friends Craig and Allison took us for a hike at the Cowan's Gap State Park. We hiked to the top of one of the hiking trails, and saw this beautiful vista:



It was awe-inspiring in person. You could see for miles and miles, throughout the whole valley. It took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to hike to this spot, and it was well worth it.


Here are some of the gigantic leaves we found on the ground:















Here is another look-out point that we went to:












Here is Mike standing in front of a place where there was a huge landslide:



















And here are some apples at a roadside stand. This is where we bought delicious homemade apple butter from a local farm. Yum! Happy Fall everyone!

Those pictures are gorgeous and the apples make me hungry! I'll bet they smelled wonderful,too. I agree with Christina! It would be nice to have a fall season that lasted longer than a few hours!!
