Hector Falls, Allegheny National Forest


Hiked down to Hector Falls today in the Allegheny National Forest. If you're looking for one of those "hidden treasures" in the ANF, this won't disappoint.

Green is starting to cover the forest floor and flowers are popping up through the fall leaves. I was surprised at the steady water from Hector Run trickling over t...he 22-foot tall falls considering we haven't had rain in quite a while. The kids had a blast checking out the falls, Hector Run and climbing through the other large rocks in the area. We're excited to return this summer!

From the upper gate this hike is roughly 2 miles downhill. The upper gate was open, so we were able to park in the lower section, making for a super quick hike of just a few minutes... and more time to play!
