The best hikes are the ones that conjure old memories and create new ones. Beaver Trail Loop map, tips and photos plus some hiking memories.

During the 2020 Covid months, I hiked close to home, combining 2 trails for a 300 mile trek. The experience gave me an appreciation of our forests, waterways, towns, and history.

Kellys Run Trail in Lancaster County, PA, is a moderately easy trail, lined with rhododendrons, boulders, waterfalls and in winter, sparkling icicles.

The Sunset Rocks – PA Appalachian Trail 8.2 mile loop in Michaux State Forest includes some rocky terrian, a view, boulders for climbing, the AT half point and Toms Run creek.

A New Year’s Day hike after sunset was a peaceful way to kick off 2019.

The Mason Dixon Trail travels along the Susquehanna River in southeast York County. Streams and water falls along the pathway make this trail beautiful!
