20-Minute Cliff Overlook
Scenic spot
πŸ‘ Very pretty area but watching the sunset was a bit blinding. From this spot, you can see it disappear behind the mountains but it isn't fully set. I prefer to be higher up the mountain and watch the sunset on the horizon. That's when you can see the sky change color. We didn't see any color change l...

Abbey of Gethsemani
Monastery
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Beautiful location, building, and grounds. Very peaceful. Honey, fudge, fruit cake in gift shop, all made there. Many great items in gift shop. Take the time to watch the full movie in the room on the left as you enter gift shop building. It shows a day in the life of a monk. We'll worth the time. S...

Upper Shamokin Falls Trail
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Fun hike, mostly woodland trail with lots of rocks. A few small plank bridges and muddy spots. A rock scramble at the end to the falls. 0.3 miles one way by my Garmin. All downhill to the falls which you guessed it means all uphill on the way back (not 90 degrees, very doable). The falls are bea...

The blueberry wine slushy is also a mus...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ This was a great location to have my car breakdown on the Blue Ridge Pkwy. A restroom would have been nice, but I nevertheless enjoyed the great view, the shady tree, and the picnic table.

White Rock Falls
Tourist attraction
πŸ‘ This place was pretty beautiful. The trail was somewhat primitive and very narrow, not maintained as far as..... the branches were growing over the trail. If you get poison ivy easily you probably don't want to hike this trail. The falls have several natural pools to swim in. Crystal clear water. We...

Three Ridges Wilderness
Park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ I have done the AT section of the Three Ridges Wilderness, but never the Mau Har Trail (blue blaze) that connects to Maupin Shelter until now! Roughly a 15 mile + loop from the Tye River Footbridge on Route 56 and is definitely strenuous in the 3 mile section that makes up the Mau Har Trail. I woul...

Quarry Gardens at Schuyler
Botanical garden
🫀 Sadly, our June 6th visit was marred at the outset by the conduct of our guide, Armand. As best I can surmise, he was annoyed that everyone in the mixed group of over a dozen visitors was wearing a facemask to help reduce possibility of transmitting Covid-19. Prior to the walk a short video was show...
