I took my Hikerbabes on a roadtrip a couple weekends back. Despite torrential downpours and lightning on the drive there, the day was so magical. I’m sure the mill is the biggest attraction, but it was the least exciting in comparison to these rocks and waterfalls! The waterfalls especially were flowing! #mcconnelsmillstatepark #statepark #stateparks #stateparklife #usinterior #findyourpark #goparks #getoutside #nature #naturelover #naturelovers #waterfall #waterfalls #waterfallhike #waterfallphotography #chasingwaterfalls #waterfallsofinstagram #landscapephotography #waterfallchaser #hikingphotography #hiking #hikersofinstagram #hikingadventures #idhikethat #neverstopexploring #pennsylvaniaphotography #naturalpennsylvania #pennsylvaniaisbeautiful #pennsylvania #hikerbabes

If I am taking a photo of a person I want them involved and engaged in the process. I don’t want to invade on someone’s space. So this photo is a rare example of a time I went against my personal hard and fast rule. I actually was hoping to take photos of the mill but my battery was dead I was only able to take about 5 photos before it was a complete brick. 🧱 #kayaking #mcconnelsmillstatepark #kayakadventures #kayakgram

Settle My intention was to set up my tripod and catch the sunset. This spot is popular for just that and more. When I arrived, this is what I walked into. So I slid down the hill, camera in hand and starting talking with him. We were caught up in the moment and I didn’t want to disturb his zen. So here’s a shot from above. I hope you feel the serenity as much as we did.

Classic Western Pennsylvania view of fall colors at McConnell’s Mill. Lucky that I decided to visit the Mill on Monday morning, avoiding the weekend crowds, to find this peak color view with mirror-like reflections in the still water above the dam. Only a few days of this kind of color remain and probably the only fall color shot I will get this year due to several trips to other parts of the country in recent weeks. . . . . . #slipperyrockcreek #mcconnelsmillstatepark #mcconnellsmill #gristmill #waterfalls #waterfall #waterdam #watermill #rural #rurallife s #steelcitygrammers #Raw_Pennsylvania #rawpennsylvania #landscape_lovers #landscape_specialist #landscapecaptures #landscapephotography #landscapephoto #visitpa #naturephotography #autumn #fallcolors #autumnleaves #autumncolors #PaFeatured #pennsylvania_wild #PennsylvaniaIsBeautiful #onlyinpittsburgh #richarddeyoung #richarddeyoungphotography

As we were driving home yesterday on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, we decided we had time for one more adventure. We headed northwest of Pittsburg, PA. We found a place called McConnells Mill State Park. What a treat! It was so cool.

This trail kicked me arse a couple years ago. I've been thinking about going back since. Today was that day. I thought it would be a good measuring stick of where I was. The measuring stick beat me repeatedly but I did the whole trail. Very rewarding, or will be when I can walk in a few days. - - - - - #mcconnelsmill #mcconnelsmillstatepark #pennsylvania #hike #hikepa #hikeography #hikography #optoutside #river #lnt #leavenotrace #alltrails #garmin #merrell #winning #struggle
