I have been tired from the strain of managing COVID risks at work while handling all my other normal responbilities so a shorter drive on this holiday weekend seemed like a chance for some rest while still enjoying a hike. We stopped in Tidiute for a hike on ANF lands along the Allegheny River. The trail has seen some work since our last visit. It tended to be overgrown and eventually a bushwhack. Now it is an inviting walk on an old railroad grade.
With the overgrowth we hadn't noticed these shelves along the hillside.
The river was a popular place today. No masks, plenty of alcohol, and shallow points for stopping to socialize made for a COVID cocktail for visitors on the water. Hiking a trail takes work and gave us a deserted trail.
The falls were the target of our walk. We didn't expect much flow, but were interested in seeing the falls. Now that we know the trail is in better condition and there are real birding opportunities here, we will probably visit in the spring.
Lizzie never misses a chance to get wet on the trail.
