Looking for the perfect fall adventure? Well, taking a trip to Beam’s Rocks is the perfect way to spend a beautiful fall day. Located about twenty minutes from Saint Vincent, Beam’s Rocks is found in the Laurel Highlands. Once you walk down the path, you find yourself standing on huge bolders overlooking Somerset County and Jennerstown. Directions can easily be found online but keep in mind that you will have to drive down a gravel road and Beam’s Rocks parking will be on the left-hand side.

Here are some beautiful pictures from a recent adventure to Beam’s Rocks!

The trail you walk along is flat and beautiful with all of the colored leaves. 

Here is the view when you first get to the rocks. Be careful though because there is a drop off that is very steep.

The view is spectacular!

Needless to say, this is something you must experience for yourself and once you do, you will appreciate the beauty that could not be captured in pictures.

Happy hiking!
