Bilger's Rocks - Exploring Ancient Rock Labyrinths | Pennsylvania

Located in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania the geological formations known as Bilger's Rocks are a breathtaking natural wonder. The surrounding area is intricately laced with hills, mountains, and river valleys that generally follow the Appalachian mountain range. This unique rocky labyrinth offers caves to explore, fern-lined cliffs, passageways, climbing routes, and other unusual features estimated to be between 316-320 million years old. Indigenous tribes in this region utilized these rocky outcroppings for shelter to escape harsh weather conditions. Established in 1988 by a group of local citizens to both preserve and promote the area, the Bilger’s Rocks Association hosts events that feature a variety of entertainment and historical education activities throughout the year.
​
The park offers over 10 miles of hiking trails, many of which pass through old growth forests. Some trails travel across privately owned lands, while others follow along streams or through hardwood forests. Group tours are available for booking in advance @ thebilgersrocks.com with a park ranger.
Be sure to stop at the pavilion within the park to receive an informational brochure. The park is open from 6AM - 10PM daily. I hope you enjoy this hidden gem in the heart of beautiful Pennsylvania.

After watching your video, this is now going on my 'places I want to go to in PA' list. Thank you for posting. Nice video!

[@lkarloff]

I can’t believe how much this place reminds me of my time in Washington State. It’s a very lush environment with beautiful ferns and endless corridors to explore! Thank you for the comment my friend! I have another video which is basically PART 2 of this day’s adventures in PA to a place called “Beartown Rocks” with similar formations. I will be uploading that tomorrow so stay tuned for another spot in PA worth checking out. Thank you for watching.

Sorry the video isn’t processed in 4K yet, it’s taking a bit longer due to storms in my area.

@@lkarloff You're welcome! I am looking forward to part 2! I haven't been to Beartown Rocks either. I've never been to Washington state yet. Maybe someday. It looks like a beautiful state to visit. Bilger's Rocks and Beartown are a couple hours away from me so these could be a day trip.

@@euphemy I have a playlist on my channel from the Pacific Northwest if you are interested. I highly recommend checking out that portion of the US at least once, some of the most beautiful beaches. Both Bilger’s Rocks & Beartown Rocks make for an epic day of exploring PA. You are going to have the best time. Happy Memorial Day btw.

I visited and it's beautiful there! Found tracks from deer, racoon, rabbit, turkey and a cougar.
