Canyon Waterfall Geology Hike: Pre-Registration is Required
2024-04-13 09:00 - 13:00 | Darling Run Access Area, State Route 362, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
Encore! Please note, this is a repeat of the same hike and excellent information provided on the last hike.
Explore the waterfalls along the lower Turkey Path on your quest to unlock the geologic secrets of the PA Grand Canyon. The one-mile round trip hike up about 400 vertical feet (half way) of the trail will be led by both park staff and professional geologists from DNCR’s Bureau of Geological Survey. The hike begins at the base of the canyon, where the Lock Haven Formation is exposed. These rocks were deposited approximately 380 million years ago as sediment on the edge of an ancient sea and contain fossils of marine organisms. As the hike progresses, the exposed rock will be progressively younger and transition into the shoreline and alluvial plane deposits of the Catskill Formation, effectively transporting participants through time and space of the geologic history of the gorge.
This program is well-suited for those curious about the ancient past of the gorge and those willing and able to complete the moderately strenuous hike. Registrants should meet by 9am in the Darling Run parking lot for the Pine Creek Trail (rail trail), be bussed approximately 3.5 miles to the base of the trail below Leonard Harrison State Park where the program will begin. After a brief introduction, the group will climb slowly, learning along the way to a point about ½ way up the path and near the upper waterfall. Participants should wear proper footwear and layered clothing for the hike. A small backpack, water and snacks are also encouraged. Those interested should register online, https://events.dcnr.pa.gov/event/canyon_waterfall_geology_hike_974 or by calling 570-724-3061. Spaces are limited and the deadline to register is Tuesday April 9th. In the event of inclement weather, this program may be cancelled.

Walks highlight the many varieties of water and woodland birds that live in or migrate through the parks. Bald Eagles are often observed, as well as Ospreys that frequent Hills Creek Lake. Please bring your binoculars if you have them (limited sets available) and wear subdued clothing and sturdy shoes. Walks are usually two hours and at a slow pace and a limited distance. If the weather is inclement, the group may opt for a driving tour with several key stops nearby to keep optics dry (as well as the participants). Check out the club’s website for updates on what’s been seen lately and other helpful local birding information.

Wednesday Morning Musicales Present the Music and Marvels of Ancient Egypt
2024-04-10 10:15 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
See the sights of Egypt without leaving Wellsboro. Margery Hoffman and her sister Judith Artley of Framingham, Mass., will present a program for Wednesday Morning Musicales on April 10 at 10:15 a.m. at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center about their 2023 trip to Egypt.
The presentation will consist of slides and recorded Nubian music. They will show the ancient sites of this exotic country and introduce some of the ancient musical instruments used to worship the gods.
The travelogue will start near Cairo, at the Pyramids in Dahshur and Giza, before flying to Luxor to uncover the Valley of the Kings and tour the temples of Luxor and Karnak and Dendera.
It’s at the Dendera complex that the audience will be introduced to ancient instruments and the goddess Hathor as well as the dwarf god Bes, as documented on the temple walls. They will travel by river boat upstream on the Nile River to Aswan to partake in high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel where Agatha Christie was inspired to write “Death on the Nile.”
Next, is Nubian music played by instruments documented in Egypt as early as 1300 BC. The mizmar, a double-reeded woodwind, is very foreign to western ears. The final stop is the Philae Temple, relocated between the low dam and the high dam. Like Dendera, this temple also devoted to worshipping Hathor and Bes.
The trip continues to Abu Simbel Temple near the Sudanese boarder to hear a Nubian folk band sing about the displacement of families due to the building of the high dam and Lake Nassar.
The Musicales meets on the second Wednesday of each month, September through May. The organization was formed in 1934 to promote interest in music among its members and in the community. Each meeting showcases local talent. All events are free and open to the public.

If you want to enjoy the eclipse, but don’t want to drive into the path of totality, stop by the park instead to view the partial eclipse! We’re celebrating, observing, and admiring the eclipse from 2 PM – 4:30 PM on Monday, April 8. The peak of the eclipse will occur around 3:20 PM. In this free, family-friendly event we’ll be doing all kinds of activities. If crowd-sizes permit, we’ll look through our specially filtered solar telescopes directly at stages of the eclipse itself. We’ll even have eclipse glasses available while supplies last. Possible activities include making a solar projector, sun prints, and contributing to solar science by observing the sun. Activities will be available at set times throughout the event, options will be modified to suit crowd size. Stop by for a few minutes, or stay the whole time. This event will be held at the Night Sky Public viewing area on the north side of Route 44. No pets, please. Large crowds and sensitive equipment do not create a pet-friendly environment. For more information on the event and for a Google Maps pin of the location visit: https://bit.ly/CHSP_Eclipse2024

Here in north-central PA, we’re expected to have a 98%-covered sun. The moon will begin to cross the sun at around 2 PM, reaching a maximum coverage at around 3:20 PM. The sun will fully reemerge around 4:30 PM. The eclipse will not be visible if it is cloudy. Sunglasses alone aren’t enough to protect your eyes, make sure you wear certified safe eclipse glasses if you look directly at the eclipse.
