Rickett Glen Day Hike

Hi all,

this is my entry about my day hike trip today (Americans call it Hike and more hiong versions as trek). It is at this place called the Rickett Glen State Park. Its seriously quite a nice place. It reminds me of berkelah and pelepah. Its basically a waterfall trek that lasts for 4 hours. Its a trail that loops around a small peak but on the way (up and down), you get to see about 22 waterfalls (small and huge ones). (un)fortunately, its autumn and its rather cold for a swim. Nonetheless, the views are kinda different from the Malaysia waterfall treks. There are seasons here so you can see yellow leaves on the deciduous plants and sometimes you can even catch the view of falling leaves. Its really quite relaxing and nice.

It would also be good to note that Americans more or less behave similar to us when they trek. They also chat with one another during the trek and their mentality are more or less similar to the people that i trek with in Singapore - diversed. Some are excited, some are experienced, some take care of others while some walk by themselves. It actually comforts me that although we're different in day-to-day culture, we're actually similar in trekking culture.

Anyway, enuff of blabbering, i was told that my blog has too much words. so here's some pics!
