500 Awesome Photos » My work http://www.500awesomephotos.com The Great Allegheny Passage Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:50:19 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc Wonders along The Great Allegheny Passage http://www.500awesomephotos.com/my-work/scenic-outlook-kentuck-knob-campground/ http://www.500awesomephotos.com/my-work/scenic-outlook-kentuck-knob-campground/#comments Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:08:17 +0000 carol http://www.500awesomephotos.com/?p=191 There are many beautiful sights to see while traveling along The Great Allegheny Passage.  

These are just a few of many that can be seen in Ohiopyle, PA, just one of many small communities that lies along this trail.

The Great Allegeny Passage Trail passes through Ohiopyle and hundreds of thousands of people travel through this area every year.   There are many Wonders of Nature to enjoy here.  

Close by is this awesome hidden waterfall called Cucumber Falls. You have to walk down 108 steps to get to the bottom and there are several trails leading in and out of this area. 

This is the beautiful Ohiopyle Falls.   Thousands of visitors come here every year to enjoy the water, and the nature that surrounds the area.  Ohiopyle is great for camping, biking, hiking, swimming, and just “hanging” out for the day!

Ohiopyle is beautiful no matter what time of year you visit.  This photo shows looking downstream on the Youghiogheny River from the Falls area.

Come visit. Once you see what all there is to do, you’ll be back several times a year!

(If you like these photos, they can be purchased on a Journal, all three items have the cover photo “faded” on every page.   Check out the side bar for details.)

Yellow Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly, Great Allegheny Passage

She was enjoying sunning herself on a Milkweed Leaf!

She is one of several varieties of butterflies that frequent the flowers along this trail.

“Check out my photo here!” says the butterfly!

On any given day, you can see the beauty that nature has to offer.   And it changes from week to week.

Monarch Caterpillar, Great Allegheny Passage

Here is a monarch caterpiller that was on a Milkweed bush along the trail!  Just think of the beautiful Butterfly he is going to become!

This lake is “hidden” right outside the town of Mt. Pleasant, PA, near the small town of Bridgeport, PA.

We were just done having dinner with friends, and since it was a beautiful warm evening, and this lake was so close, we decided to stop and relax for a while.

Soon after we arrived, I got this photo and several more photos of this awesome sunset!

This is what it really looked like! I did NOT photo shop any of these colors!
