Hammersley Fork Valley, September 2004

These photos were taken in Leidy Township, Pennsylvania in a small mountain valley through which flows the Hammersley Fork creek. Most of the photographs were taken in the Beech Bottom hollow along a pristine mountain stream called Beach Bottom Run. The hollow is part of the Dutlinger Natural Area and the Hammersley Wild Area. The idyllic waterfalls occur at the bottom of the hollow as the stream flows through a slate rock formation.
