Hawk Rock Vista Duncannon PA


Hawk Rock Vista is located in Duncannon, PA.  It is called "Hawk Rock" because from a distance it is said to look like a hawk, sorry I don't have those pictures.  It is about a 2 mile hike, round trip, which includes 2 vistas -both overlook the Susquehanna River.



All hikes were completed with 9 children, ages 14 to 1 year old, to help you understand that anyone willing, can make it to both vistas.  Yes, one was carried most of the time and the other was carried when the terrain was not flat.



The Duncannon Overlook is also included in this hike, if you make a loop and do not walk back the way you went.  We parked at the Hawk Rock Parking Area.  Do not walk down the stone road, instead head up the trail before the stone road, on the left (when facing the stone lane).  We stayed on the right hand trail up to Hawk Rock first.  There will be only one other trail on the left (y's off), stay straight (the right trail) and you will go through the stone mountain side steps in the picture below. 



Once you make the hard left hand turn in the trail you are all but there (Hawk Rock).




Once at Hawk Rock, if you head straight up the hill there is also a clearing which includes a stone fire pit.  From the clearing, with Hawk Rock behind you, the right hand trail is the Appalachian Trail heading away from the Duncannon Overlook and away from your car if you park where we did.  So we took the left hand trail (towards the river) across the top of the mountain.  The rest of the hike can be found in "Duncannon Overlook" instead of repeating and/or writing it twice.

Trending; My 3 year stint with the keto diet, a review

Image
Now before I begin to be demonized and sent a bunch of hate email , I’m NOT a doctor. Nor did I do the keto WOE (way of eating) under the care of a health practitioner. *I take full responsibility of my own health therefor I do my own due diligence, research and experiments; performed on me, by me. With this said this is my story, not yours. Please take anything I say as just that, my personal experience and opinions. And sorry I'm not siting any scientific reports for this article.  I'm keeping it personal.   I'm JUST a mom! Whew, now that we have all that squared away, let’s begin, shall we? (Note; For those just skimming, or have limited time, the condensed review is at the bottom.) The story: I began the keto WOE back in June of 2013 and I was 7 months postpartum at the time. However I continued this WOE through 2 pregnancies, exclusive breastfeeding and beyond. (ie. Intense workouts, heavy weight lifting, hiking, and more.) For my body, this mean...

Reinforcements; Plant Allies!

Many of us are either sick or experiencing a loved one's sickness.  Either way the pain of illness is close. Smoke Signals is a place to share information that encourages one another.  We believe that we have been given everything we need to live and abundant life.  This is our mantra because we want it to sink in. It's true! We advocate WILD EDIBLES on our side bar, to the left, for many reasons. 1.) FREE medicine! It's wise & true that every seed bearing plant has been given to us for fruit and it's leaf for medicine. "Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." "Eat the rainbow" 2.) It's more than just a medicine or a food.  It's a holistic way of living. It's a symbiotic relationship. It's synergy!  We were created to consume these plants just as they were created for us to consume. It goes in a harmonious cycle. We give off carbon dioxide, they give off oxygen. They adapt to the ever ch...

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!?

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!? What does all this mean and what is the best natural hair care method? Do we really need shampoo? What about just using conditioner? All those plastic bottles not only contribute to the waste epidemic but what about all the money wrapped up in this one simple daily practice? Do you think I can write this entire post in questions? My opinion ( which has not been evaluated by the food and drug administration, I assure you ) is this; Shampoo as infrequently as possible. -No I'm not kidding.- Even the mildest shampoo strips oils, that's what it is formulated to do. Therefore one who has dry hair, doesn't need more drying. And if you tend toward oily hair, frequent shampooing creates a cycle in which the scalp increases production of oils (Sebaceous glands secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum.) in response to every washing away of it. Subsequently this leads you to believe that you should be washing y...
