Randy Edelman and I enjoyed the mellow ice on Little Four Mile Run Falls at Leonard Harrison State Park, Tioga State Forest today. Conditions were excellent.

Campbell Run, Pine Creek Gorge - February 22, 2014

by dseasholtz Thu, February 27 2014 08:36

Last weekend, Ben Nevin had a great outing in the PA Grand Canyon in Tioga State Forest. Ben writes: "Campbell Run above Tiadaghton was a beauty last Saturday in the almost 50 degree temps. It had suffered a little in the warm temps and rain from the previous few days, but a number of formations were great. The main falls was more vertical, less stepped than it had been in other years, and had a horizontal crack opening on the lower third. The side walls had nice formations, and the N. Wall has some solid formations, although one of the big pillars had fallen. I'm thinking all the ice routes I saw survived the warm temps. I'm hoping to go back this weekend."

Tioga County - February 2, 2014 (and earlier)

by dseasholtz Fri, February 07 2014 15:57

Received a report from Ben Nevin in Tioga County of several outings in the north woods. The first three photos are from Little Four Mile Falls in Leonard Harrison State Park at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Ben Reports: "Here's some photos from Little Four Mile on the Leonard Harrison Side of the Canyon. I took a family up there for their first time. We climbed the seep beside the falls which was taller, about 140' in length."

The last two shots are from Sand Run Falls in the Tioga State Forest near Arnot. This looks to be a nice backcountry location.
