Travel by Audubon van to a park with interesting natural and human history.

Walk out along the old Kinzua Bridge until you are standing 200 feet above the surrounding valley during peak autumn color. A new interpretive building was recently added to the attraction.

Kinzua Bridge was an engineering marvel when it was built to allow trains to cross Kinzua Creek. It continues to marvel visitors today, with a glass-floored overlook and an expansive view. The new visitor’s center is chock-full of entertaining exhibits, short movies, and more. It is the perfect example of a place where human engineering and nature meet. 

An optional hike down into the gorge will be included for those who wish it. Non-hikers can explore the visitor center and bask in the glory of autumn until the hikers return.

Rick Rupprecht will host this trip.

Special Information: Bring extra layers of warm clothes as the wind can be chilly on the bridge, walking shoes, and a lunch that does not need refrigeration. Optional: binoculars, camera, hiking poles.
