A Sunday drive
I spent about eight hours today photographing fall scenes in Somerset and Fayette counties. Included in my “tour” were four covered bridges, a restored train station, and Ohiopyle State Park. At Ohiopyle State Park, I visited beautiful Cucumber Falls for the first time.
At 162 feet in length, the Barronvale Covered Bridge is the longest in Somerset County. According to the placard, it was built in 1830. Other sources list the date built as either 1846 or 1902. It spans Laurel Hill Creek. The Barronvale Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 1980.

This photo was taken from the Loop kayak Take-out spot along the Youghiogheny River at Ohiopyle in Fayette County. The Great Allegheny Passage, a 150-mile biking trail between Cumberland, Maryland, and Pittsburgh, crosses the Yough on the old railroad trestle. The view from up on the trestle is outstanding.
Within Ohiopyle State Park is Cucumber Falls, a 30-foot bridal veil waterfall on Cucumber Run.
This farm on PA Route 381 in Westmoreland County is a pretty scene in any season. The sheep found my presence intriguing.
