Gorgeous place. Love all the waterfalls. ❤
Rain and waterfalls ... The best combination for great falls.
You know me, I always bring the rain with me.
Amazing!! Can’t wait for part 2 next week.
It gets a little bit more sunny in part two haha, thanks for leaving a comment!
So beautiful! Great video!
Thank you for stopping by Mallory!
Beautiful
It was incredible! Thanks for stopping by Donna!
@@MaksimOutdoors I'm not going to miss a good video
Very beautiful waterfall, nice exploring
Thanks for visiting
That's one happy boy!😊
It was a great day!
You’re right, there’s no possible way a video could do Rickets justice.. but you came pretty darn close. Great job as always!! Looking forward to Part II
That means a lot Teddy, that area just had me speechless and I couldn't have asked for better weather. Thanks for stopping by!
Ah, that’s an amazing waterfall hike. Very interesting place.👍🙂
Thanks for visiting
Awesome, making plans already
@@grillinandchillinwithdeb you’ll love it!!
@MaksimOutdoors looks like we will, great camping also
Great video. Love the history you put in.
Thanks for stopping by! History is what makes these parks so special!
I do want to come out there and do it myself! This is a super episode and a breath-taking place. The giant, ancient trees and the gloomy light were perfect. The spot with the water splashing all around - you captured the magic! Thanks for sharing!
Im already planning my next trip up to that area, it was just incredible, I can't wait to see it with some fall color! Thanks for stopping by!
Nicely done! You’re right about the sounds, it’s intense yet soothing. That section was closed due to a rockslide when we went. We didn’t see anything past B Reynolds Falls so I’m very happy I got to see the ones we missed. Thanks for taking us along.
Yeah it gets pretty intense while going through there, you certainly lose your sense of surroundings not being able to hear anything and all the rock slides had me a bit freaked out lol, thanks for stopping by man!
What a gorgeous trail and the waterfalls are awesome. Wish I could do this one but I don’t think I can handle those slippery rock stairs. Thanks for taking me along. Loved it.
I took my time and felt safe the entire way, I think you'd be fine to hike it. I think I spent easily 20-30 mins at each fall. There are "easier" ways to hike this trail, you could always park a car at the bottom and just do a through hike if that's a possibility for you! As always thanks for the comment!
Awesome footage. I loved all the beautiful shots of the waterfalls, but also appreciated you pointing out the large trees and some of the water that drips through the rock there. Will be checking out part 2 next week. I haven't been here for a few years so enjoyed seeing it again through your video.
I feel like the majority of the folks that film this trail forget just how magical the "other" parts of the trail are like those giant hemlocks and just the work it took make this trail happen, plus the whole history of Mr. Ricketts himself is very interesting, thanks for stopping by!
We did this trail in April a few years ago and there was quite a lot of water flowing then as well. Easily the most challenging and one of the most beautiful trails I have ever done. The warning signs at the start of the trail are no joke.
It was challenging but all the stopping I did while filming I barely noticed lol, I think I spent 20-30 mins at each waterfall lol.
I absolutely love Ricketts Glen! You did an excellent job as usual bringing us along and I learned a few things too, thanks again! 👍
First time there and I was just blown out of the water quite literally, it was a day I won't forget especially with that magical weather morning I had, thanks for stopping by!
Oh my gosh, on 18:11 is the place of my painting. ❤❤❤
That's awesome!
You captured those falls beautifully Bill!!! Easily my favorite PA State Park. Just can't help but to throw out one superlative after another when hiking the Falls Trail. I hiked the loop with my son, and put out my vid of the trail four years ago! Thanks for another high quality video...👊🏻😀!!!
It's in the top 5 for me easily, I have to sit down and really think out my top ten state parks once again one of these days! And yes you summed it up! So many ways to describe that area, thanks for the kind comments!
Thanks for this content. Hoping to get to this park soon. Your info is helpful.
You need to put it at the top of your list Bruce! It was an excellent area with a lot of great hikes including this one. Add on Worlds End State Park to your trip and it will be one of your favorites!
@@MaksimOutdoors Thanks for the suggestion ... now to find the time😵💫
Great video! I was looking forward to this since I wasn't able to complete the trail earlier this year. Hopefully one day I'll make it back!
Appreciate everything youre doing man, sharing the video was awesome of you! Thanks for stopping by Troy!
Wow. I am waterfalled out! Not really - I'll be ready for more in the next video. Beautifully filmed as always, Bill. Great stuff!
Thanks for stopping by, looking forward to checking out your newest video!
Wow. I would love to do this trail with you!😊❤ Beautiful! Thank you 😊
Planning another PA Wilds trip in October maybe ill run into you!
@@MaksimOutdoors I will be in cross fork labor day weekend and the first weekend in oct.! So excited!
Where will you be bill?!
@@debbiehills2928 I am planning on doing an Ole Bull video when the fall foliage is near peak up that way so I’m thinking probably mid October? Not sure what for Labor Day yet!
@@MaksimOutdoors the foliage is beautiful in pa. That's for sure! Ours here in Northern pa is the first or second week of oct.!
@@debbiehills2928 well I might be up there first week then!
For once, getting drenched in your video is advantageous😂!
I have seen so many great videos of this place recently that I almost feel like I don't need to go. Thanks for sharing!
Actually 18:10 minutes.
❤wow you are a leftie too bill!!!❤
