Description
Mohawk Falls is the first waterfall you will hear, and then see, if you begin your hike from the top of the gorge in Ricketts Glen State Park.
This beautiful wilderness site is located near the top of the Ganoga Glen hiking trail, not too far from the recently renovated Lake Rose parking area.
Ricketts Glen State Park is located at the junction of RT-118 and RT 487 in Fairmount Township, Pennsylvania, USA. The nearest town is Red Rock, PA, about half way between Williamsport and Wilkes Barre, PA.
This photograph was captured on Monday, October 11th, 2010. The shot was captured with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the 17mm focal length. A 77mm ND-4 Neutral Density filter and a Circular Polarizer were "stacked" on the lens, with the CP in front. The lens was mounted on a Canon EOS 10D DSLR body.
This is an HDR image, comprised of the three separate exposures that were merged in Photomatix Pro 3.2 software.
The aperture was set to f/16 in Manual mode and the view was shot at three different shutter speeds, 0.3, 0.7 and 1.2 seconds, ISO 100. The camera was securely mounted on a Manfrotto 055CLB tripod with a Manfrotto 222 head. A remote shutter release was also used.

Thank you very much, Donna! If you ever find yourself looking for something interesting to do in north east PA, I would be happy to be your guide through the glen. You would never forget this incredible place. Best wishes, Gene
