      Hiking

      Below is a PDF of the agenda that I made for this trip. It shows the hiking trails that you should and should not attempt to take through and around the PA Grand Canyon during winter.

      Pine Creek

      Pine Creek is the body of water that you can see flowing through the valley in the pictures above. Below you can see the Creek running through the back yard of our rental house. I want to come back here in the summer and take a kayak down the creek through the canyon.
