A first view of the Pine Creek Gorge (aka "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania") from a viewing point past the Visitor Ctr & Gift Store at the Leonard Harrison State Park.
[Photos taken on 23 Aug 2015]
The Pine Creek Gorge is approximately 4,000' from rim to rim.
Shooting yet lower from the same view point, where the canyon is approximatly 800' deep, one finally catches a glimpse of Pine Creek.
And looking to the right (up-canyon) one gets a better view of the Pine Creek Gorge.
Zooming in....
Looking to the left (ie., down-canyon)....
Zooming in one can see a road on the left side of Pine Creek.
Looking up-canyon again one can see the road on the right side of Pine Creek.
