Hiking goal met: gentle trek and views of Pennsylvania fall foliage.

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

I connected the Appalachian, Hosack Run and Locust Gap trails to create a 7.5 mile loop through beautiful rhododendron groves in Michaux State Forest.

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

Climbing rocks makes me feel like a kid. The White Rocks Trail near Boiling Springs is a short fun rock-scramble trail.
