Ohiopyle State Park 10/10/10 After a drive of dips and turns on the Laurel Highlands Scenic Byway from Donegal to Ohiopyle, we were able to avoid carsickness and make it to the park. We were greeted by a beautiful walk along the Yough followed by a quick run to find some bathrooms.
We made the trip on 10/10/10, the middle of the peak season for fall foliage and were not disappointed.
The kids enjoyed the railroad bridge, even though they were not always great about getting out of the bicyclists way. It was a long walk back, and we were all ready for some lunch.
The falls! Great picture, even better view! Made the whole trip worth it. Course, the kids seemed just as happy picking up acorns from under a random tree.
While we waited for our BLT's, hot dogs and chicken nuggets, we crossed the old railroad bridge and posed for some pictures on the rocks.
See they like each other!

The kids ran around until Jen got back, then ate and were ready for some more!
Owen and Jeff managed to sneak away long enough to check out the gift shop in the visitors center though .

All in all, about a 70-mile, 2-hour drive each way. $15 lunch for 6; excellent trip, will have to go again!
