Hiking Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon Two state parks flank the sides of Pennyslvania’s Grand Canyon. Colton Point State Park on the west rim offers the hiker the most scenic trails. On the eastern side the Leonard Harrison State park is the most popular with usual visitors. Most folks come to the Canyon during two weeks in autumn when the hardwood trees are ablaze with color. Other then autumn, hikers have the park usually to themselves.
