Ricketts Glen State Park, PA

Day 5 – May 22, 2025

Miles traveled: 492

We came to this magical place after visiting friends in New Jersey. We had a day in between and visited the waterfalls at Ricketts Glen in central Pennsylvania.

The thing is, it was raining. And chilly. If I were solo traveling, I probably would have spent a few hours in a warm, dry coffee shop. Maybe done some light shopping in a warm, dry boutique. But, I am traveling with my wonderful and intrepid husband David, who never lets a little nasty weather interfere with plans. So, raincoat and rain pants were pulled out along with nice, dry hiking boots. In spite of a lot of grumbling on my part, it was a fabulous day. The rain made the waterfalls roar and the chill wasn’t noticeable after hiking up a few rock staircases.
