I second that. I went there once in winter; they had sweetpeas blooming in one of the greenhouses. You could smell it farther than you could see it.

Not much in Dingman other than the falls. Now they have a stairway (240
steps) up to the top to view down as well as a wooden path to see it from ground level. Way to restricted for my taste, but nice to see anyways. 

Bonnie, I am very diverse.  I do just about anything.  I like to see
things in
natural settings, appreciate craft/arts too. I like history also. I also 
can
spend a day shopping looking at unique things. In my younger years, I was 
a
backpacker.  Now I enjoy the comforts of a hotel room at night.

Dingman's Falls? What a small world.
When I was a camper, and then a counselor at a Y camp, we used to go to 
Dingman's all of the time. There was nothing there - just primitive
camping
(no campground, no outhouse, just meadow and woods)  and the falls.
I still have the scar on my leg from one adventure. When I was a junior counselor, I was showing the kids how, when climbing the falls, you must always watch where you put your hands because of snakes. Just as I was 
about
to put my hand on a ledge, I spotted the rattlesnake sunning itself,
whipped
my hand back, and fell about 15 feet.
What's there now? I don't suppose that they let anyone climb the falls 
anymore. That was in the 60's.
If you can arrange to see Chanticleer while you're in the Longwood area, 
it's
well worth it.

Been in the northern part of PA for awhile traveling down Rt 6 hiking and
site seeing. Earlier today moved south. Stopped at the dingman falls 
and

After
that will tour the dupont gardens and homes. Then off to Lancaster and 


then
south to the blue ridge parkway areas.. I want to do one of those zip 
line
things.
No definate plans, just kinda going where ever. Although in a week I 
need

Got a suggestions of where I need to go?
