Colton Point

Visited July 2011

This park along with Leonard Harris park make up the 'Pennsylvania Grand Canyon'.   I have been wanting to visit the actual Grand Canyon since the Brady Bunch visited it in the early 70s.  Since the trip to the actual Grand Canyon was not going to happen anytime soon, I packed the kids up an took them to Pa Grand Canyon, which is about 10 miles west of Wellsboro Pa in Tioga County.   I suspected this to be beautiful but was so very impressed with how gorgous it was.  I have never seen the Rocky Mountains but the mountains that make the canyon are so much larger then I suspected and the colors of greens are many more then you would imagine.   We walked (me and the 10 year old daughter and 12 year old son) the Rim Trail which included outlooks into the canyon.  Each view was slightly different and more amazing then the previous.  The trail was less then a mile and much easier then the Turkey Path trial which takes about an hour and 1/2 and will take you to the bottom of the canyon to Pine Creek.
