Hiking’s one of those year-round activities that allow us to spend time outdoors whenever the weather cooperates. Most trails offer jaw-dropping scenery in each season, making them well worth a visit several times. Follow the Tom Lowe Trail, which leads to a breathtaking waterfall in Pennsylvania, during any season. However, the trail is particularly striking during the warmer months.

Finally, you’ll arrive at the waterfall, flanked by foliage in brilliant shades of green and, in the right light, giving the waterfall a greenish tint. If you look closely, you might even see tiny bubbles in the pool into which the cascade tumbles.
