Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania
Viewed from Colton Point State Park

I mentioned one of my stops yesterday was at Colton Point State Park on the west side of the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. While there is no real park headquarters, there are several picnic areas and overlooks as well as the West Rim Trail and the trail head of Turkey Path which leads down to Pine Creek far below. When the water is low enough, you can wade to get to the other side and climb the Path back up to Leonard Harris State Park. I'm not yet that adventuresome. It's one very steep climb.

Still, the views from the rim are spectacular; especially in the fall when the trees are in full color. Even now, before the leaves appear, they are quite nice.

(I admit to cheating a bit with the blue sky. A little Photoshop enhanced the blue.)
