We had our first snow here in the Allentown, Pa area last weekend. So I went about an hour north to one of my favorite places. Hope you like... 

The Boulder Field at Hickory Run State Park is a true relic of the past. This area is a National Natural Landmark and State Park Natural Area. It has remained relatively unchanged for more than 20,000 years. The Boulder Field appears striking because of its flatness and absence of vegetation over the large area of 400 feet by 1,800 feet. Some of the boulders measure as much as 26 feet long

The 15,990-acre Hickory Run State Park, Carbon County,
lies in the western foothills of the Pocono Mountains. This
large park has over 40 miles of hiking trails, three state
park natural areas and miles of trout streams. The Boulder
Field, a striking boulder-strewn area, is a National Natural
Landmark. The park office, the Manor House and the Chapel are all
that remain from the old town of Hickory Run.
Mud Run: This remote, nearly pristine mountain stream
is lined with rhododendron and eastern hemlock. The stream
has a viable native brook trout population.
Hawk Falls is in Hickory Run State Park, noted for its rock field. The glacial activity that created this rock field also was responsible for Hawk Falls which drops about 25 feet.
