Ricketts Glen - part 1

We spent Memorial Day hiking at Ricketts Glen state park in eastern Pennsylvania. There is a hiking trail that runs along side (and sometimes in) a river down one steep glen then back up another. The trail is only about three and a half miles long but drops about 800 vertical feet then climbs back up the same amount. It's partly a trail and partly steep stairs built out of rocks. There are about 20 waterfalls along the trail. It took us three hours to hike the trail and we were exhausted by the end.

  In addition to the sunset cruise we took a snorkeling and kayaking cruise. Of course it was took windy to snorkel but we did get to kayak....
