Fall Ridge Hike

I always love hiking at Rothrock State Park in central PA. It’s always so calm and beautiful. I did a ridge hike this weekend when the weather was beautiful. I’ve done this hike before and enjoy it because the beginning of it is in dense brush, but then it opens up where there was a forest fire a several years back and you can look across the valley. The trail head is right off of Bear Meadows Rd. Park by Kettle Trail and head south up the trail and take a left at the top of the mountain on Tussey Mountain Trail.

Here are some pics from the hike. Trying new things, getting new stuff.

This is where the trees were mostly cleared out by the fire.

On the way back home, I saw a gorgeous sunset. I still had my 300mm lens on so I snapped a couple of shots with the moon. This photo would not have been possible with a cropped sensor camera because the moon or the powerlines would not have fit.
