Giant Boulders at South Mountain Preserve

This was Wildlands Conservancy’s first nature preserve and was permanently protected in 1973. This 400-acre preserve boasts nearly 11 miles of woodland trails and is a beloved hiking and biking oasis. It is a heavily forested preserve with rocky outcrops and overlooks of the Lehigh Valley.

Those rocks were huge. The shot with your son in front of the boulders really gave perspective about how big the rocks were. It looks like you got your workout with how steep some of those sections were. I liked how in the one view you could see the rollercoasters. Nice your son came with you and wanted to be on camera. My kids are hot and cold about it. Sometimes they do not want to be on film at all, other times they are more agreeable. I just try to do what they want and am always happy they are hiking with me.

Those are some impressive boulders! They remind me of the big boulders you find in Yosemite 😊 Beautiful forest trails 👣 Cool to see some old Homestead ruins.
