Pennsylvania Chapter staff and outing leaders ventured into the wilds of Tioga County in North Central Pennsylvania for the June Chapter Outing at Colton Point State Park, also known as the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania". The park encompasses 368 acres on the western rim of the Pine Creek Gorge with all the rustic charm of the Civilian Conservation Corps era of the 1930s. Rugged overlooks provide gorgeous views of the canyon. Participants spent the weekend tent camping, hiking the Rim Trail, and biking along Pine Creek.
