How can one place have so many fantastic waterfalls? I knew I was going to be hitting Ricketts Glen a little past peak fall foliage, so didn't have much hope of catching a good color display. Boy, was I wrong! Yes, about two thirds of the trees were bare of leaves, but there was still some great color, in both the upper and lower stories. The waterfalls were thundering, which was another surprise, because we've had quite a dry summer in Pennsylvania. I picked Wednesday as my day to visit, because of the cloudy but otherwise calm conditions, perfect for waterfall photography. Finally, since I was hitting Ricketts Glen past peak fall and in the middle of the week, the place was much less crowded. I repeat: How can one place have so many fantastic waterfalls? Stats for the day: - Hiking/photography time: 9.25hrs - 5.5mi, 1200ft gain - Total trip time: 18hrs

RGSP is a special place, great photos as always. Have you seen all the falls in SGL 13,a few miles west of Ricketts Glen? You'd love it.

Have you seen all the falls in SGL 13,a few miles west of Ricketts Glen? I've seen the ones on Heberly and Sullivan Runs, but that's it. I know there are a lot of other waterfalls in the neighborhood, but it's so far for me from Pittsburgh that I've, to-date, always focused on these three areas. They have such a high concentration of waterfalls and I want to get my money's worth.
