Heart's Content Scenic Area is one of the few "old growth" forests in Pennsylvania.

I’m beginning my hike back to the main road. One might expect this means we’ll hear the same birds, but that’s not always going to be the case. Some species move around during the day, or might vocalize less or more often, or differently, at different times of the day. We’ve not yet heard everything this trail has to offer today.

I’ve made it to Hector’s Falls - it’s not a very tall waterfall but it is very compelling to look at.
