Most of us would probably agree that little compares to spending time among nature, especially when we hear the gentle sound of water tumbling down. We’re quite fortunate to have hundreds, if not thousands, of named and unnamed waterfalls dotted across the state. When you follow this waterfall staircase hike in Pennsylvania, you’ll arrive at the state’s tallest waterfall – and it’s one of the most majestic.

With its magnificent 150-foot drop, the three-tiered Raymondskill Falls rivals Niagara Falls when it comes to its height and its sheer natural beauty.

Add the length of all three tiers, in fact, and discover that Raymondskill Falls is just a few feet shorter than Niagara Falls.

Getting to the breathtaking waterfall is pretty easy, although there is no way to access the first tier.

Definitely slip on a pair of comfy, sturdy shoes because, although the trail only spans just over half of a mile, you'll have some rocky terrain and stairs to climb. (The trail is considered easy to moderate.)

Take care when you walk on the boardwalk near the waterfall. It can get quite slippery, especially after a rainfall and in the winter.
