Summary: "Pennsylvania Waterfalls: A Guide for Hikers and Photographers"

One of the most useful books I have seen. Not only are the pictures wonderful, but the detailed directions should be helpful in locating the various waterfalls during an upcoming visit.

Summary: "A Guide for our latest vacation, too."

During a week in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, we used this guidebook to help us learn about waterfalls in the area. The directions were very good and information about the trails was better than anything we found locally. We did find one falls where the access had changed since its publication, so check with a local if something doesn't make sense.

Summary: "I Keep It In the Car"

I keep this book in the car for our travels around Pennsylvania - just in case we're near a waterfall. Directions and explanations for each fall are clear - as well as things to watch out for - private land, inaccessibility problems, etc. Great resource.

Summary: "first time hiker to PA"

Very good guide to all the photogenic spots in the entire PA as opposed to only specific parts of PA. There is very in depth suggestions for the serious photographers (of which I am not) that "point and shoot" photographers are really not going to use, but can at least use his recommendations for site location for the scene. I found the rating system very useful to help me decide which hikes were worth my time seeing on limited time. See also:

Summary: "Awesome guide to PA Waterfalls"

Really well written, beautifully photogaphed, and easy to understand guide, I absolutely love this. He tells you everything you need to know in order to get great shots at significant PA waterfalls. I'm a PA transplant currently living in Atlanta and bought this book for my trip next week. There's tons of falls I've never seen or heard of listed in the guide. I typically go to Ricketts Glenn every time I return home but im going to some of these other spots instead on this trip. BTW, his self portriats are really funny.
