Pennsylvania Grand Canyon 2009!

So, Matt had a few days off, and we decided to take a little road trip to see some sights. First stop: the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. It was pretty, but not necessarily as impressive as the name suggested.

This is Colesy after we hiked and climbed for a couple hours.
We climbed a really tall tower. I got to the top and sat down on that bench! It was TOO HIGH!!! Colesy was a little insecure up there too.
Here is the tower from the ground. It was high enough!
The river through the "canyon".
I loved this funny tree. It was just growing in the woods with no apparent reason for the quirk in the trunk.

We found an eagle flying around. It was hard to get the camera to capture him, but he was just cruisin' around for the whole time we were there.
There he is again, just the dot in the sky.
We found a dead (dying) snake. It was a baby, and we thought perhaps he was a rattlesnake, too little to have rattles yet. He was yucky even though he was small. A car had run over him and popped him. He was still twitching.
Colesy was HAPPY to find a frog. She was cute!
They found another one for Shelby to get her picture with.

And off we go on the hike.
Me and the girls with the canyon behind.
Shelby took this of us. Yikes!
There is a bike path down beside the river. Apparently, you can ride for 57 miles down there!
