Pennsylvania Mountain Dreams

Fall Colors From Roundtop Ruminations

Gary Boyd — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:45:59 +0000

Walking through the wooded valley between Nell’s Hill and Roundtop Mtn. is a joy in any season, but it’s hard to argue against fall being the best of the best. A snow-covered walk is fine, too, but sometimes hard to accomplish, even on snowshoes. In spring the beauties tend to be smaller–tiny wildflowers and unfolding ferns. In summer I can nearly always find a respite from the heat down here if not on the climb back up. But fall is simply hard to beat, with its glorious colors and long views.

via Roundtop Ruminations: Woods hike – part 2.

I visit Roundtop Mountain regularly through Carolyn’s RSS feed. If you have never stopped by her blog you should take a few minutes and swing on over for the fall color updates and pictures…They are pretty awesome this year.

She and I also share another interest…A love of raptors. The past few weeks she has been reporting on the fall migration as it moves through her part of the Appalachian Mountains. The big birds are already drifting into my gulf coast territory for the winter.

More than a "Guide", it is a wealth of information, November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Longstreet Highroad Guide to the Pennsylvania Mountains (Longstreet Highlands Innactive Series) (Paperback)

Just by picking up the book and leafing through it, you will be delighted with the wonderful illustrations of plants and animals found in Pennsylvania. It would be wonderful for a "beginning wildlife lover" to be able to identify the trees, shrubs, birds, etc. all around PA. Plus the illustrations are just beautiful to study. Even a young student would be delighted with all the information about the bugs and reptiles that is found in the highlighted areas of the book. It’s a lovely book!

More than a "Guide Book", November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Longstreet Highroad Guide to the Pennsylvania Mountains (Longstreet Highlands Innactive Series) (Paperback)

This is a great book, not only as a guide to camping and being in the great outdoors in Pennsylvania; but as a book for nature lovers Young and Old !! It has wonderful illustrations of the animals and "bugs" found in PA and gives a wealth of information in the captions of the illustrations and in the shaded boxes throughout the book. This would be an excellent book for the young naturalist (boyscouts and girlscouts, etc) to learn about the unusual animals in their "backyard". A great book to relax with and leaf through and LEARN a lot about nature.
