Kings Gap State Park

We took a little excursion to Kings Gap State Park to see the mountain laurels blooming. (Fun fact: Mountain Laurel is Pennsylvania State flower). Anyway, we didn’t walk around too much because Al is in a foot cast. He has a torn tendon in his foot. But it was enough to get some fresh air and see some nice views from the environmental center which sits on top of a mountain. We also saw a dead rattlesnake on the road which is not something you see every day either.
Amazing flowers and sounds a lovely trip.

can't quite see the detail - looked like a rhododenron at first

@narayani @anniesue thank you, they are in the same family as rhododendrons.

I love mountain laurels. Tried to grow them in my yard but they didn't like it.

@meotzi we tried to transplant some from a family member and they never really took off. Lasted a couple years but eventually died out.

What gorgeous flowers. Sorry to hear about Al's foot. Hope it heals soon

Thanks. I hope so too because the alternative is surgery and I think that’s going to be quite involved.
