Hiking Ricketts Glen State Park Falls Trail 

Absolutely beautiful falls nothing better than hiking though God's wilderness thanks for sharing your experience

Great trail to hike, I’ve been hiking it for the last 40 years, winter and summer!

Thanks for taking us along your beautiful hike. Love the sound of the falls.

Wonderful hike in a beautiful historic part of the country. Thanks

Beautiful! Did roughly the same hike many years ago, when the kids were little. A hidden gem! Thanks

Falls are always on my visiting list. Very cool!

Nature is so beautiful! Amazing views! Sounds like it was a great time 👍👍👍👍

Lots of falls to enjoy thanks for bringing us along looked like a great day outdoors

That was amazing. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. 👍

Thanks for taking us along on your hike! Those were fantastic falls and so many of them. Great tips for the hike. That had to be fun eating lunch on that trail.

Thank you for taking us along, very beautiful park.

what a great adventure thanks for sharing

Beautiful! Man at the waterfalls..Nice!

Thoroughly enjoyed this. What a great day. Thank you for taking us along.

Thanks for the video. A very rugged set of trails. My feet and back would not be able to handle such conditions these days. A lot of falls in such a short distance. The rain helped to show the power of the water. The trail looked slippery. Glad no injuries. Dave.

That was a great hike. So many water falls. I was hiking a few years ago after an overnight rain and found a Red Salamander that looked a lot like the one you found. Such a cute little guy and his expression was one to remember.

Fantastic place to hike..Thanks for sharing it.

That's a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for sharing it with us. Those stairs look like the trail is well maintained. It's a pleasure hiking on good trails like that.

What a beautiful looking area It's sad to say I've never heard of Ricketts Glen State Park in PA until now That's to Mr and Mrs Magdad you should go back in the fall when the leaves are changing color take care looking forward to next Sundays Video

A very doable day trip from my Central Maryland abode. Thanks for the review. By the way I think it was you that recommended the great book One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw by Witold Rybczynski. Excellent book and sooo much more than just the screwdriver and the screw. If our rest colleagues want a good historical read that flows like a novel, this is it. Two Thumbs Up For 357magdad.

WOW, such beautiful scenery there in USA. Nothing quite like that here in England. I admire your managing that hike - I couldn't possibly do it nowadays - age and hips are against me now ! Thanks for taking us along on your journey - awe inspiring sights. Take care 🙂

👍absolutely beautiful!

Amazing video. It reminds me so much of the northwest where we I live. I don't get out there enough. Thank you so much for the view of the country that you live in.

What a fantastic video and a great insight to the USA thanks for sharing your time 👍👍

Thank you for taking us alone Thank you for the video

Awesome video MagDad. I will have to add that trail to the list. Hopefully for this fall.

A beautiful day’s hike. Love the waterfalls.

That was great Magdad! The falls were beautiful and I was amazed at how many there were. Thanks for sharing this.

Wow I had no idea that there are so many waterfalls there 👍 All very beautiful too thanks for sharing it 👌

Thanks for taking us along! When I had in-laws, they have a bungalow in the White Mountains of NH. Lots of nature to see there, I especially love the Flume Gorge state park....

Wow, just beautiful!

Ricketts Glen is only 40 minutes from me and I used to hike it twice a week to stay in shape. It's a great trail, but as you noted, can be a little treacherous. In the past it has been open to serious climbers throughout the winter, but make sure you register with the Ranger Station. All those wet steps become solid ice with crampons and other required gear a must. The trail is a thing of "frozen" beauty, but there has been at least one fatal fall and many more minor slips and trips. I avoid it on weekends to avoid the crowds unless you start out at dawn. I have seen people in flip-flops on the trail and others that look like they're prepared to scale Mt. Everest.

Beautiful area with all the falls.

Just beautiful! Looks like a good place to sprain an ankle without good boots! Where is the source for all that water and where does it go?

You didn't shoot the rapids in kayak? I was amazed how algae free the stones are where you were hiking, with all the water spray I would expect them to be covered in algae and moss.

Thats a beautiful trail Magdad, have you worked out the total drop from the top to the bottom falls, it must be quite substantial ? All the more impressive due to the recent rain I guess, it's awe inspiring the power of water and amazing quite how loud nature can be ! I like your walking sticks, I have a nice straight piece of of Hazel with a Y that I'm seasoning ready to be made Ito a "thumbstick" ! We have many beautiful waterfalls in the UK, but I don't know of anywhere with that number of falls in such a concentrated area !

Wow beautiful! That looked like quite a long hike. Do know how many miles it was? Four hours is hard to say depending on how fit you are or hard/easy the terrane is.

Looks awesome. Did Chuck get himself into trouble while you were gone?

Imagine your grandparents making that hike. It would have been uphill completely roundtrip. Do that hike in Pennsylvania or Oregon and you can add in the UFO experience.

I haven’t seen that many falls since Biden boarded Air Force One. Seriously, beautiful park.

Should've brought your surfboard.

Looks like a good day. No desires to go skinny dipping?
