샘물로 채워진 연못인가요? 망할 연못은 보이지 않았습니다. 내일 다시 가겠습니다.

Beam Rocks is a sandstone outcrop that rises about 90 feet above the surrounding forest. The rocks are a popular spot for day hikers and climbers. There is access via a short side trail here, but this is also a good spot to pause for a view of the rocks if you prefer to stay on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail.

Wind Cave sits about 60 feet off the Conestoga Trail System, and the area offers scenic views of the Susquehanna River. The cave has no restrooms, restaurants, or gift shops, so visitors should come prepared. It features two entrances, each leading to separate parallel corridors connected by a single cross-passage. Here, the main entrance is easy to access, with an eight-foot-tall, three-foot-wide opening that leads into a gently sloping floor and a ceiling that rises 15 to 25 feet high. As you move through the straight corridor, you'll need to climb over large fallen boulders before reaching a narrow point, about 175 to 200 feet, where most visitors can go no farther. The cave is dark and easy to turn around, so explore cautiously.

It's hard to beat the view from the top of Beam Rocks. The best part is that it's accessible from a variety of different trails. You can do a quick out and back if you only have a short time, or take one of the many longer trails in the area and make it a day hike.

If you were wondering why this trail has this name, this man-made cave is the reason. It is a good spot to enjoy a snack and take some photos as well. The Cave Trail connects the Hemlocks Trail with the Oil Well Trail and also with the Meeks Run Trail.

Referred to as "Hermit's Cave" or "Kelpius Cave," this location was believed to serve as the entrance to the dwelling of Transylvanian scholar Johannes Kelpius. He held the belief that the world would come to an end in 1694, leading his followers from the "Society of the Women in the Wilderness" to this very spot.

Crystal Cave is Pennsylvania’s first show cave. It was discovered in 1871 by local farmers. Because of the interesting crystalline walls 125 feet underground, it became a popular tourist destination. There are tours for the public to visit the cave. As the cave is so far underground, it is always 54 degress, so its a great place to escape the summer heat!

Jim Thorpe was once a thriving coal town, which can be seen in the abandoned tunnels scattered around the hills in the area. This cavern cannot be accessed by the public.
