Get ready! The very best part of fall is right around the corner. What is your favorite way to admire the fall foliage? A stroll around your neighborhood? Hit the road for a leisurely drive? Or, do you prefer a hearty hike, where you can breathe in the crisp fall air? Drink in the spectacular fall foliage in Pennsylvania — and snap photos in front of a waterfall — along this picture-perfect trail.
Stretched across 585 cozy acres, Leonard Harrison State Park promises spectacular views of Pine Creek Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
But, before you begin the one-mile trek to the canyon floor, make sure you have everything you need for the hike that's rated difficult, including sturdy boots and plenty of water.
Of course, the trees will be awash in the colors of fall, especially if you visit at just the right time. The fall foliage in Pennsylvania is expected to peak around October 15, 2018.
