REGISTER BY PHONE BY NEXT THURSDAY, JUNE 1 FOR CANYON WATERFALL GEOLOGY HIKE ON SATURDAY, JUNE 3

0 Comments

Saturday, June 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., explore the waterfalls along the lower Turkey Path on your quest to unlock the geologic secrets of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.

The one-mile round trip hike up about 400 vertical feet (half way) of the trail will be led by both park staff and professional geologists from DNCR’s Bureau of Geological Survey. 

The hike begins at the base of the canyon, where the Lock Haven Formation is exposed. These rocks were deposited approximately 380 million years ago as sediment on the edge of an ancient sea and contain fossils of marine organisms. As the hike progresses, the exposed rock will be progressively younger and transition into the shoreline and alluvial plane deposits of the Catskill Formation, effectively transporting participants through time and space of the geologic history of the gorge.

This program is well-suited for those curious about the ancient past of the gorge and those willing and able to complete the strenuous hike. 

Registrants will meet by 9 a.m. in the Darling Run access parking lot for the Pine Creek Rail Trail, be bussed approximately 3.5 miles to the base of the trail below Leonard Harrison State Park where the program will begin. 

To get to the Darling Run access parking lot for the Pine Creek Rail Trail from Wellsboro or Galeton, drive on U.S. Route 6, turn onto Route 362 and go about 1.5 miles to Darling Run in Ansonia.

After a brief introduction, the group will climb slowly, learning along the way to a point about half way up the path and near the upper waterfall.  

Participants should wear proper footwear and layered clothing for the hike. A small backpack, water and snacks are also encouraged.

Those interested should register by calling 570-724-3061 between 8 p.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Sunday. 

The deadline to register is by next Thursday, June 1. Spaces are limited.

Wonderling Takes Top Place At Bradford Speedway

0 Comments

Jeremy Wonderling certainly knows how to get around Bradford Speedway; however, in the two prior Tour races run at the tricky track, it was fellow New York standouts Bryce Davis and John Waters victorious. Neither Davis nor Waters were in competition on Sunday so a new winner was guaranteed. Wonderling was certainly the favorite and he lived up to the billing passing Kurt Stebbins on lap three and holding off 13-year-old phenom Brock Pinkerous for his Series leading third victory of 2023 worth $3,000.
