Boulder Field at Hickory Run State Park, PA

From Wikipedia: The most notable feature of Hickory Run State Park is the huge boulder field located in the northeast corner of the park.[5] The boulder field can be reached by car on Boulder Field Road or by hiking the 3.5-mile (5.6 km) long Boulder Field Trail from the trailhead on SR 534. The field comprises about 720,000 square feet (67,000 m2) (16.5 acres (6.7 ha) or 0.026 square miles (0.067 km2)) in area (1,800 feet (550 m) east-west by 400 feet (120 m) north-south). The top of the boulder layer is virtually level with the approaching path. The immense weight of the boulders has compressed the underlying soil 12 feet (3.7 m) or more. The boulder field was created about 20,000 years ago during the most recent glacial period. The boulders consist of the sandstone and conglomerates identical to those capping the ridges that surround the field on three sides (the Mississippian Pocono Formation). Large amounts of melting waters from the glaciers apparently carried the boulders down from the ridges and into the valley where they now reside. The Boulder Field is truly a stunning sight, seemingly appearing out of nowhere in the park's dense woodland. Many visitors cannot resist hopping from boulder to boulder across the field. This unique geological landscape is a National Natural Landmark.[4] 41°02′10″N 75°41′02″W

Loyalsock Canyon vista trail (worlds end state park)

I camped in World End State Park family campground. It's the campground under the Loyalsock Canyon Vista. I paid $35 for my campsite not what I'm used to because I try to find free campsite most of the time. This was the closest to my hike. I say it was worth it because it was clean, well-maintained. there was a road close by but the road traffic sound weren't a bother to me. Loyalsock Canyon was a bit of a challenge. So many beautiful sites all around. It was very muddy so make sure to wear good footwear.
