This past weekend I took the kids to see the Pine Creek Gorge, or the Grand Canyon of PA. The views of the canyon were great and we explored several waterfalls, including an off trail hike to towering Owassee Slide Falls. The best part of the gorge are all its sidestream waterfalls and hidden glens. The canyon walls had a purplish hue with the green of pine. The gorge is one of the largest canyons in the east; it is almost 50 miles long and 1,500 feet deep at its deepest point. A wonderful place to hike and explore. The kids enjoyed themselves.

Beautiful! Have been wanted to get down there for a couple years now. I've only driven through. What a great area that is!

Looks beautiful. I haven't been there since I was a kid – and I've missed the last two years worth of kayak trips down it my club holds...gotta get out there sometime soon!

I have done the loop the last two years. This year I started in the evening on the cayon leg and it was incredible seeing the canyon under a full moon. I will likely make this an at least annual event.
