Join us for a hike through time along the rim of the Pine Creek Gorge. We will explore the Rim Trail at Colton Point State Park, as we appreciate and discuss historic sites along the way. This 1.5-mile loop will take us along the rim of the gorge, as well as into an old growth section of the park! The trail is rated easy, with some elevation change (about 200 ft). Please bring sturdy shoes, water, and dress for the weather. This hike will likely only take an hour, but please allow 1.5 hours for discussion and questions.

Registration is not required for this event; it is strongly encouraged! This will allow for updates prior to event.

Counting down to America’s 250^th birthday on July 4, 2026, DCNR has partnered with America250PA to celebrate the role of Pennsylvania’s public outdoor spaces and their impact on the Commonwealth. Focusing on America250PA’s theme of “Educate, Preserve, Innovate, and Celebrate” (EPIC), DCNR is helping to engage citizens in all 67 counties to commemorate this momentous occasion.

The distance walked/hiked during this event and any other hosted by DCNR can be used for America250PA’s Road to 2026 Celebrate Pennsylvania challenge.
