Review & FAQ:

Ricketts Glen State Park is a 13,050-acre, incredibly scenic area by Red Rock Mountain that spreads over three counties, with a series of glens that form 22 waterfalls. It is one of the most beautiful and scenic areas in Pennsylvania. The Grand View Trail is 1.9-mile, fairly difficult trail that will take you to the top of Red Rock Mountain through blooming tunnels of rhododendrons and mountain laurel. The trail is steep and slippery but the view from the top is spectacular.
