Along the way, there are lookouts where if we get lucky can view an Eagle and other birds flying at eye level. There are a couple mild rocky areas to climb down and back at stream runs. We will rest at waterfalls, then return when all ready. Wear blaze orange or have bright colors on backpack in case we see hunters (probably not many in this hilly area along Susquehanna River).
