Beautiful Hike ~ Trout Run Nature Preserve

[@cherylzinke4558]

Absolutely Beautiful hike!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful PA parks!

[@HikerDudeDad]

Thanks for the shout-out! And thank you for solving one of my big mysteries so far this spring by ID-ing the Mayapples. Tried Google image searches and couldn't zero in on it for some reason. I feel like going back to see that snake, seems like he owned that crossing. That's where I crossed to get to the tunnel as well. Good stuff as always!

[@trishg2885]

Loved this video...This is a beautiful place..I love all the little waterfalls

[@mnye833]

There is nothing quite like the serenity of the spring woods. It brings peace to the soul

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Yes! Underwater cam is back! A truly charming place!

[@richardbruehahn3089]

I think the yellow flower at about 15:30 is a yellow archangel. I use an app called PictureThis to identify plants. Great video wish I could be there now. Been watching your videos for about a year now and I really enjoy them. Keep up the good work.

[@karenpacker8862]

So breathtakingly gorgeous. I wouldn't want too leave. This park has everything. Amazing underwater footage.

[@nickmad887]

a great walk with Cliff.

[@beverlybelcher3423]

The plant with the yellow flowers is a species of lamium. I have it in a flowerbed as a ground cover.

[@kellyb1420]

Beautiful! Thanks again for all your hard work! ❤️😊

[@WALTERZOLNA]

Pleasantly suprised at the beauty and scenery of Lancaster County. I had often thought of this area as a hiking desert. But in fact its flush with beautiful hiking locations...

[@lovesmashbox]

I love these videos of water falls or just running water . Such a beautiful area....

[@willmorrisusa]

Hey Cliff - that was so nice of U to try & save the little moth ! Nice underwater photoshooting of the creek and / or stream , too ! Nice excursion 😊 👍

[@mauriciogonzalez3334]

Beautiful! Thank you Cliff for another amazing video

[@user-David-Alan]

That was one beautiful location. Thank you for sharing. Could have been a movie scene.

[@jessivia9545]

Awesome video!! I live in southern Lancaster county n it's great to have so many preserves here. n just so you know, Tucquan is pronounced tuck-wan. 🙂

[@dawndietz4654]

Wow what an amazing park! The little falls, beautiful moss covered rocks, I just love spring 💕🌷. Thanks for sharing the wildflower knowledge too. I live in the South, our May apples where up the first week of April😆. Lovely ramble through the woods💕

[@lindamccaughey6669]

That was just awesome. What a beautiful area. Moth was very pretty. Now that snake was gorgeous, lovely pattern. Love the tunnel too, such beautiful stonework . I so enjoyed that. Please stay safe and take care

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Cliff, that poor Lunar Moth, I hope he was okay but he did look in pretty bad shape, still an awesome thing to find though bless him. The snake was a cool bonus find, I love snakes they have such beautiful markings. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖

[@martyjones9374]

Gorgeous! Another little part of heaven on earth. Enjoyed your underwater footage. Love seeing the May Apples & all the other plants. Jack in the pulpit, very cool. Thanks for helping the moth to try & get better. You have a very kind heart Cliff. All the beautiful green was so lovely to see. Thank you for taking us along.🥰

[@FrankKnight8846]

Hello from Canada. That yellow flower might be a lobelia

[@jeannineroche5669]

Truly a gorgeous hike today!!

[@brianferris1233]

🌲🦌🌲 thank you for sharing your video today stay safe and healthy 🌲🦅

[@elmermason9685]

Thanks Cliff for the video. I look forward to your videos. Take care, stay safe.

[@pawadventures5544]

@23:00 the snake comes back out of the water onto the log. The second snake looks much larger snake than the first one. I like how you point out and name the plant life and insects, I wish I had taken a greater interest when I were younger. Nice hike. Good video. 👍🏻

[@UFOzNoJoke]

That may have been mother snake and baby snake. Doo doo doo doo doo

[@pawadventures5544]

@@UFOzNoJoke 🤣👍🏻

[@peytonweb]

@15:16 , I think it's called yellow archangel!! I googled variegated leaves/yellow flowers. I hope I'm right, lol. 💛💚💛🌿🌻🌱🌼🌾 LOVE THESE VIDEOS!💚💛💚

[@mikesweeney7190]

Liked underwater shots..think I saw some native brokies dashing about.Thanks Mr.C.

[@karencharny1497]

Reminded me of Frank Loyd Wright's house on the waterfalls great video thanks

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Beautiful walk, today so beautiful.

[@johnnyringo3171]

Excellent footage of the snake!

[@reneereb6499]

I never saw a Luna Moth before, thanks for the info about the species 🦋

[@Carolbearce]

Love seeing these walks in the spring and you telling us about the plants. I remember jack in a pulpits from when I was a kid wandering the woods. Always loved them.

[@edithdavis2848]

Love Mayapples. Beautiful area, those flowers are all lovely, that was a fat snake. Thank you Cliff

[@suzanjournagan1112]

Hello Edith

[@lynfl9814]

I just watched the second shot of that beautiful water snake. It looks like a Banded Water Snake. You can also see the vertical lines on his upper and lower jaw. That is one of the ways to tell the difference between a Cottonmouth/Water Moccasin and a water snake. Here in Florida so many water snakes get killed because people swear it is a Cottonmouth. The Cottonmouth has a wide brown stripe that starts in his eye and runs back. They also do not have those vertical lines on their upper and lower jaw the way a water snake does. What a beautiful shot of that snake.

[@sheilalemley8722]

Putting this place on my "gotta hike it" list!!!

[@justincassidy4512]

[@tommmarree3689]

Het Cliff, I just downloaded an app for my phone called PlantNet, you set up thr free app, take a pic of the plant/flower/bush, and it tells you what you are looking at. Very cool app......

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

again an incredible video such nature's beauty colour of Greenere ! Awesome mind blowing brian tks Big time

[@ZoeFeastsurfacedesigner]

Totally agree it is such an underrated place. At the tunnel the trail leads up to the enola trail and you can do a nice little loop.

[@lynfl9814]

When you talked about the snake, you said, "He's gone now." No, he's not! He is in the that frame! He crawled out of the water up on the log. Really, cool, Cliff. I have been learning Florida snakes because where I live we have four venomous snakes (Coral, Cottonmouth, Diamondback Rattlesnake, Pygmy Rattlesnake). I use Florida Snake ID site on facebook. Is that a Banded Water Snake? We often see Banded Water Snakes in NE Florida. You can learn so much from a facebook Snake ID group. If they have one on facebook in PA, I would recommend you join. When someone posts a picture of snake; I try to ID it before I look in comments or the title for the answer. If I get it wrong, I start asking questions of how to ID that specific snake. It is so cool. You learn snakes really fast with these Snake ID Groups.

[@dfy4762]

when you went underwater, the small fish are called stripers, we use to net them in the streams we fished in millheim/centre county for bait. I enjoyed this video very much. your narration re fauna is interesting. we also have the lamium in our yard with pink flowers on them. i think its also called false nettle.

[@danmathers141]

That tunnel at 24:37 . Someone had to bring heavy equipment back here.

[@jwon5614]

Beautiful woodlands!!! Was that a rat snake? Great camera work through the whole video!!!🌺🌷💞😊🤗

[@ducaticanine]

always enjoy your videos man. im headed home to visit my parents in south central Vermont soon from Europe. cant wait to do some awesome hiking like this. love the NE nature. ever been to Maine? That is a state i wanna explore..

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

Not yet...

[@beverlybelcher3423]

What a beautiful place to hike. I enjoyed the underwater portion of the video! Thank you so much!

[@marivera77]

Yellow flower was Yellow Archangel. Looked it up.

[@bekleidungu.ausrustung7068]

Nice area. I didn't see any trout tho. That would be nice.

[@therealdandyhouse]

Adult Luna moths also only have a life span of one week.

[@steventrosiek2623]

Unbelievable. Thank you for the information.

[@cko78]

Just beautiful. What camera are you using? Greetings from Austria

[@bruinsfan8278]

Think I saw a Brookie!

[@firstcitytraveler]

Wow, what camera did you use for the underwater part of the video?

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

DJI Osmo action camera

[@PatriseHenkel]

Great sounds on this one. Birds, running stream👍 wow, underwater shots are awesome! That’s an especially lovely place. How long did it take you to reach the stream? I’m quite crippled with arthritis but would love to get myself out to places like this. I went following Tubmill creek in westmoreland co. About the Luna- he may be just wearing out- their active time is so brief. Good sign for a pristine environment.

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

10 minutes maybe.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

PS. Yes, yellow flower is lamium galeobdolon (yellow archangel)

[@chubbydamron672]

Saw Black Nosed Dace but no Trout, Do you know if Native Brook Trout or Wild Browns live there?

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

Not totally sure about that.

[@coleswanger]

Can we get the promised link to the HikerDudeDad channel in the video description?

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

Just type in Hiker Dude Dad on your youtube search

[@benbox7329]

You did get the snake the word later goes across him on a log at 23:07 Look closely he is there it’s a smaller than the one at the end Great place looks like a place I’ll take the kids

[@jayforkner2692]

Thanks, I must have replayed about 20 times. Your "later" clue helped.

[@danmathers141]

You never mentioned the ferns.

[@rineneff9299]

We pronounce tucquan glen. "Tuck won" glen
