Description

This a the full view of Huron falls. You can see the two distinct sections of the waterfall here, with a sharp turn after the first drop-off, before the water finally reaches the splash pool in the forefront of this picture. The waterfall is located along the Glen Leigh Trail, Just below Shawnee Falls, in Ricketts Glen State Park.

This photo was taken late in the afternoon of December 31st, 2012. The image was shot with a Canon 5D Full Frame camera through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the 17mm focal length. It was shot @ f/18 with a .3 second exposure, ISO 100. The camera was mounted on a Manfrotto tripod, with a Manfrotto 222 Pistol Grip head. A remote shutter release cable was also used.

Ricketts Glen is located near the small rural village of Red Rock, PA, at the junction of Pennsylvania State Routes 118 and 487. The park is about midway between Williamsport and Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania, in the north eastern region of the USA.

WARNING: Ricketts Glen waterfall trails are extremely dangerous in the winter months! They are closed to the public from late November unit spring. Winter hiking is only permitted if you are a well-equipped hiker with previous icy condition hiking or climbing experience. Each climber must register and sign in before entering the trails and must also sign out after the hike. Crampons, Ice axes and climbing ropes are absolutely required. This is NOT just a "walk in the park".

Your comments are always welcome! Constructive criticism is appreciated.
