Yeah this is a beautiful area. You really captured the beauty of it nicely. That shelter is fantastic, you can tell its well cared for. I did this loop clockwise starting from Caledonia State Park, but this is a great option as well
I was surprised at the amount of green every where, so early in the season. Lots of pines, rhodies, and laurel. Yes, that's enjoyable hiking in that area of Pa.
I trust your judgement when it comes to shelters Jeff, I reckon you have seen more of them on the trail than just about anyone with all the backpacking you have accomplished!
What wonderful hike! I love the way you use light in your filming. This is an awesome hike. Thanks Gator! And thanks for the mention... I wouldn't have known where you were without your hint.
Appreciate that my friend. I would have liked to have filmed a bit more extensively there, but a couple hikers were resting there and I didn't want to bother them. Yes that place was amazing!
The funny thing is I almost never even filmed at the foot bridge there. Two backpackers were filling up there water bottles right there and I didn't want to disturb them. I walked down to the shelter than walked back to the bridge later because I thought it was such a nice spot!
Another wonderful video, Walter! Quarry Gap Shelter is amazing, indeed. Three caretakers look after it. How was the camping? My favorite part might be the shout-out to Kate, who wonderfully supports both of our channels. I couldn't agree more, such nice comments and she's always positive!
Camping was good, I'm always happy to sleep outside and make a nice fire. I wanted to film more at the shelter but several hikers we're there and I didn't want to interfere with them, but man that is a nice spot . Would you say that is the nicest shelter in PA? And yes I'm happy I got the opportunity to mention Kate she is a treasure.
You do a fantastic job of documenting what is my absolute favorite after work hike. I live locally to Caledonia and, therefore, am fortunate to be able to tread this beautiful ground almost daily. I know every inch. You document it perfectly. Thanks.
Hey thanks I really appreciate that! What an awesome loop hike that is, im jealous that you are able to frequent the area, its beautiful country. I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks Kaitlin, I drove through Gettysburg on my return home I would definitely like to film there at some point, it's a very unique and special place.
Thanks for another beautiful and awesome hike. Loved the shot under the foot log bridge. Very ingenious and a cool shot. Hope you hiked the Rocky Knob trail loop while you were there. Another great hike in that area.👍🏕🙂
Thanks Dave. For some reason as soon as I came to that foot bridge that idea popped in my head. I did another hike later that day very close to Rocky Knob trail down by the reservoir there. Lots of loop trail possibilities in that area, it's a lovely section of forest.
I haven't been able to get out on the trail lately so I am watching a few of your videos. You are so talented, videography is beautiful and sound is so relaxing. Totally enjoying the time spent on your channel. Thanks for sharing your hikes. Glad I found you.
I'm flattered and honored by your comment. It's my pleasure to share my hikes and experiences in scenic Pennsylvania and beyond. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out some of the older videos. See you on the next one!...
Hi Gator. Enjoyed this video of a familiar hike. Living 2 miles from Caledonia, I’ve hiked this one a lot. I am always curious to see what others opinion is of the Quarry Gap Shelter. I agree, it’s a beauty and when you sit on the swing for lunch it’s just the best! TFS! Happy hiking!
Sorry for the late reply. From what I recall, it was probably the nicest shelter I have come across, which seems to be the general consensus of many. That is a nice scenic hike, a Pennsylvania classic. Happy hiking to you as well.
Michaux is awesome, one of my favorite day trip places from the Baltimore area. I highly recommend the Purple Lizard company map for Michaux, they make maps for several other PA state forests as well.
Thank you Walter! Great camera work. Really enjoyed watching felt like I was along!
Thanks Tony glad you enjoyed it. It was a wonderful day in the forest!👍
Another enjoyable video. Love the shots you get and the way you show the trail. Makes me want to get out there and hike!
Hey appreciate that so much Hiking Outdoor Family! Now is the time of the year to get out and into the woods, sorry I missed your comment there.

Great video dude, I love that shelter too!

It's a really lovely little loop trail and I was blessed with beautiful weather that day. Happy to give you a mention Kate, you deserved it.
Another nice hike. I find there is nothing nicer then hiking along a nice babbling stream surrounded by rodendrum
You know I agree with you on that Barry. Appreciate your watching and commenting!
Looks like great forest to hike in. Great job
Appreciate that Keystone Hiker! The weather was perfect that day, early start, beautiful conditions, just a perfect day to walk in the woods.
Another great one....and you're right about that shelter!
Appreciate that my friend. I would have liked to have filmed a bit more extensively there, but a couple hikers were resting there and I didn't want to bother them. Yes that place was amazing!
Nice hiking trail, beautiful forest.
Yes Mario J it is a very beautiful forest and a lovely trail. Thanks for the comments.
That's absolutely amazing, intro is just spectacular. A fun and exciting hiking tour experience.
Thank you my friend I appreciate that very much .
Nice hike like dayhikedave I liked the under the bridge shots

@@WALTERZOLNA Quarry Gap absolutely the best shelter on the AT in PA. Although right down the hill (south) at Tumbling Run is nice, too.
I really enjoy hiking with you gentlemen. You make great videos.

Great part of the state! Gettysburg is a nice place to visit.
Thanks Kaitlin, I drove through Gettysburg on my return home I would definitely like to film there at some point, it's a very unique and special place.
I always try to fall in a creek first thing in the morning. You’re missing out by avoiding that!
Believe me it has happened, lol!

Yes, Purple Lizard makes excellent maps, I agree Jeff, I am a big fan of there work!
