Hike to Pine Island Ledge Vista and Waterfalls-Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon)

Posted on April 12, 2024 by endlessmountains

Length: Approx. 8 miles

Difficulty: Very difficult and challenging.

Trail conditions: Route follows unmarked and unblazed trails, old forest roads or grades, and off trail hiking. It is a steep climb or descent to/from Pine Island Ledge. The bottom section of Pine Island Run requires scrambling along waterfalls and traversing a landslide. It is the most challenging part and potentially dangerous. Do not attempt in high water.

Highlights: Incredible views, cliffs, rock outcrops, glens, many waterfalls and cascades.

Parking: 41.631387, -77.395402. Drive in from the north. There is no bridge where Claymine Road crosses Stony Fork.

Peregrine falcons: They nest at Pine Island Ledge. I was not aware they were nesting when I visited. Consider hiking elsewhere until their nesting season is over.

Rattlesnakes: Can be found at the vistas, and along the hike.

Cliffs: This hike goes near massive cliffs. Be careful. Any fall would be fatal.

Other navigation aids: Look at MyHikes for Pine Island Run and Ledge. You might want to hike them separate to avoid the lower section of Pine Island Run. Also, a prior post to the ledge.

Description: Pine Island Ledge is widely considered the most beautiful view in the Pine Creek Gorge, if not Pennsylvania. I think it is one of the most beautiful canyon or gorge views in the eastern U.S. Here, the canyon is so narrow and Pine Creek flows hundreds of feet below. The ledge has become an increasingly popular destination in the Tioga State Forest.

This is a very challenging hike, only experienced hikers should attempt. It is one of the most beautiful, and difficult, hikes in the Pine Creek Gorge. Most hikers to Pine Island use the rail trail, but this way is long and taxing. The hike from Claymine Road is much more scenic and challenging.

Hiking the loop clockwise or counterclockwise has its benefits. Clockwise requires a difficult scramble down Pine Island Run and a steep climb up to Pine Island Ledge. Counterclockwise is the opposite. It may be best to scramble up the lower gorge of Pine Island Run, which I consider the most challenging part. You can always skip this part and just go to the view.

From the parking area, follow an obvious trail through laurel down to Pine Island Run. Reach an intersection (see picture below). Go left to hike clockwise, right is counterclockwise. We hiked clockwise.

The hike along Pine Island Run is very beautiful with many cascades and slides. You will have to hike off trail much of the way and cross where you need to. The bottom of this gorge is very beautiful but challenging. It is best to stay on the west side of the creek. Be careful crossing a landslide. Rocks and cliffs tower above. Never attempt this hike in high water as the lower part of the gorge becomes too dangerous.

An unmarked trail makes the steep climb to the view. The view is simply incredible, framed by pine trees. An obvious trail continues north from the view, it becomes an old atv trail. There is one more view. There are beautiful pine and hemlock forests. The trail reaches private property, here go off trail to the east, roughly following the state forest boundary markers. Descend to an old grade This grade will take you to a campsite. Cross the creek and complete the loop.

You should have navigational aids or apps to hike this trail, especially the off trail part at the north end of the loop. The rest is fairly easy to navigate.

Parking on Claymine Road. Trail begins behind white sign.

This is where the trail from the parking area meets the loop. Left is down Pine Island Run, clockwise. Right is counterclockwise.

Red is off trail. Yellow are unmarked trails or old logging grades, some can be faint. Blue dots are waterfalls or cascades. This is not a gps track, accuracy not guaranteed, it is for general directional purposes only. Hike at your own risk. This is a very difficult hike with potentially dangerous sections.

Hike to Blue Run Rocks-Tioga State Forest

Posted on March 10, 2023 by endlessmountains

Length: About 1.9 miles, one way

Difficulty: Moderate

Highlights: Giant sandstone boulders with chasms, creekside hiking

Blazes: Red

Issues: Blazes becomes sporadic on climb up to the boulders, turn up to the boulders can be easy to miss. Blazes also sporadic around the boulders, particularly the west side of the loop.

Parking: Pull off parking is at about 41.818924, -77.529522.

Description: If you like giant rocks, this is the hike for you. Blue Run Rocks are over forty feet tall with chasms. These rocks also attract climbers. This hike also features a scenic stream, hemlocks and pines, and good isolation. This is not a particularly popular hike, so you will likely be alone.

The trail is in “followable” condition. However, the trail up to and around the rocks have sporadic to non-existent blazing, although there are trails to follow.

From the road, follow the level trail with scenic forests of beech, pine and hemlock. Begin a gradual descent along a creek, which is often in view. Hemlocks often grow over the trail. The trail crosses a side stream. Continue the gradual descent, but keep an eye out for a campsite along the creek below. This marks where the trail turns left and begins to climb. This turn can be easy to miss. The climb is somewhat steep and will get your heart pumping, but it is not very long. Reach the top with mountain laurel, pass another campsite, and descend to the bottom of the rocks.

Take your time exploring these giant outcrops. You can go in between and around some of the boulders. It is a beautiful place and used by rock climbers.

The trail goes around the base of the rocks, but the blazes became non-existent. We were able to follow the trail due to the cut logs on the forest floor. We completed the mini-loop and retraced our steps.

Hike to Chimney Rock-Tioga State Forest

Posted on November 12, 2021 by endlessmountains

This hike leads to one of the finest views of Pine Creek. There are two ways to begin. You can begin along PA 414 and hike up the Bull Run Trail; this way is longer and more challenging, but makes the view more rewarding. The other way is to drive to the end of Old Mountain Road and park. This way is much shorter and easier, however, the road can be muddy and rutted, so a vehicle with clearance is recommended.

I began from PA 414 and hiked up the yellow Bull Run Trail. This was a scenic trail, and the steady climb wasn’t really all that bad. Bull Run is a small creek and can dry up in the summer. When flowing, it has many small waterfalls and cascades, making for great scenery. Moss, ferns, and hemlocks adorn the trail up Bull Run. As I reached the top, there were many saplings; this was an area that was burned in a fire years ago. The trail leveled off and went through the saplings and some small meadows. I then reached Old Mountain Road.

I turned left and followed the sign for Chimney Rock Trail, also blazed yellow. The trail went through groves of pine and along some meadows. This area was also burned years ago. The trail moved towards the edge of the plateau with some nice views through the openings in the trees; in winter the views would be extensive with the bare trees.

The hiking was level along the edge of the plateau and then a gradual descent began. I hiked past ledges and the descent steepened with large rock outcrops. The woods were open with oak trees. The final stretch to the view was quite steep, but manageable.

Chimney Rock Overlook is impressive with its views of Pine Creek, and the ridges, peaks, and plateaus that surround it. The terrain is diverse and beautiful. Hundreds of feet below is the rail trail and a bridge across the creek. There is a flag at the view. This view is great for sunrises.

There is another view, a short distance off trail, at the point of the plateau. It offers a great view looking down Pine Creek.

From here, retrace your steps.

Parking at PA 414 is at about 41.534728, -77.426813. Parking on Old Mountain Road is at 41.542423, -77.437155. From PA 414, this hike is about three miles, one way.

Hike to Hemlock Mountain-Tiadaghton State Forest

Posted on November 13, 2020 by endlessmountains

Hemlock Mountain is one of the highlights along the rugged 42 mile Black Forest Trail, a popular backpacking trail loop. While Hemlock Mountain is known for its steep climb if you follow the Black Forest Trail, there is an easy way to get to the mountain and enjoy its superb views of the Pine Creek Gorge. This hike is a little over 2 miles, one way.

Park at the small parking area on Big Trail Road, located at about 41.454056, -77.564225. There is space for about three cars. Follow the yellow blazed Old Cutoff Trail as it descends on some long switchbacks and then levels off along a forested ridge with hardwoods and laurel. After another descent, reach the orange blazed Black Forest Trail, on which you will go straight, or left. Follow the rolling ridge. The trail then begins a steeper climb up Hemlock Mountain. Enjoy one view looking toward the plateau with two windows through the trees. Continue climbing under pine trees as the trail begins to level.

Reach a dry campsite and an excellent view looking south down the gorge. This is a famous view of the gorge and it is stunning, particularly in the morning when it is often above the clouds and mist. The size and scope of the canyon are breathtaking, as it is surrounded with towering, vast plateaus with furrows of ridges. Continue on the orange Black Forest Trail as it descends to another view of the gorge, this one looks north. If you continue on the Black Forest Trail, you will reach a long, steep descent into Naval Run, so you will want to retrace your steps.

Hike the Slate Run Superloop-Tiadaghton State Forest

Posted on September 8, 2020 by endlessmountains

Hikers seem to like the Superloop concept- challenging all-day hiking loops with tons of great scenery. The first was the Golden Eagle-Hilborn Superloop, and now gorgeous Pine Creek has a second- the Slate Run Superloop. This 18 mile hiking route will blow you away with its scenery. It has about 3,700 feet of climbing and about the same for descending. If you like gradual climbs and steep descents, hike it counterclockwise. Clockwise will bring you just the opposite. This description is counterclockwise.

Big thanks to the PA Trail Dogs for their work on these trails. They rebuilt some of the trails and cleared others, so say thanks to our trail running friends. This route is very similar to the Slate Run 25k trail run race.

We began at the parking area along Pine Creek, crossed the bridge, and passed the Hotel Manor. There we turned right onto the Black Forest Trail (BFT) which is blazed orange. A long, and mostly gradual, climb began along a narrow ridge with cool rock formations and pine trees. We passed two female backpackers, whom we would see again. We reached the first view at an old quarry with large cliffs and cairns built from all the flat rocks. The climb continued on an old grade up the mountain to a second view, a stunning panorama over Slate Run. The climb continued and became steeper and rockier to the top of the plateau, where the trail promptly leveled off.

We hiked through scenic woodlands with laurel. We dropped into a cove with a reliable spring and some campsites. At a juncture with the Algerine Trail, which is a part of the Long Branch Trail that connects to the West Rim Trail, the BFT turned left. More scenic woodland hiking passed. We continued on the BFT at the Alcinda Trail and reached the edge of the plateau with another superb view. Three or four rattlesnakes also were enjoying the view from under the rocks. They were harmless and mostly looked at us with annoyance.

Level trail continued until we neared the plateau again with some campsites and a fine view over Red Run. We passed a second view and began a steep, rocky descent along Red Run. While low on our hike, in higher water there are many cascades and falls on this rugged stream. The bottom of the valley brought a series of excellent campsites. The next highlight were the falls on Morris Run and its narrow wooden footbridge. The BFT continued on a forest road, crossed scenic Slate Run and then climbed up the plateau back to the road and a nice view. We then turned left onto a new yellow trail, this can be easy to miss. The PA Trail Dogs built this trail, and it was beautiful.

We descended along switchbacks and then the trail followed along cliffs and very steep slopes. It was awesome to hike as we crossed the rugged terrain with ease. In places, Slate Run was well over 100 feet beneath us. The yellow trail dropped down to a cabin road and some cabins.

Here, there is a side hike you should take, which is brown on the map. Follow an unblazed trail down to Manor Fork with cliffs, overhangs and cascades. It is stunning. The trail continues up Slate Run under more cliffs and ledges to Manor Falls, a stunning cascade into a deep, pristine pool surrounded by cliffs and rhododendron. The perfect place on a hot, sunny day. Retrace your steps back to the yellow trail, which goes up Manor Fork, crossing it several times. It is a great creek walk, but can be tough in a high water.

Reach Slate Run Road, cross it, and begin on the yellow Old Supply Trail, also rebuilt by the PA Trail Dogs. This was another enjoyable trail with hemlocks, sidehill and switchbacks with views of the creek below. The trail then went up Foster Hollow, a mossy creek with many cascades in higher water. At the forks in Foster Hollow, we rejoined the BFT and turned left onto it. There is also a campsite here. But the climb continued and the heat of the day began to wear on us. Tyler took a break and I soon followed. Theresa promptly followed our lead. I laid down and felt like I could go right to sleep. The forest above began to spin. I really wasn’t sure if I could get back up, but Tyler gave me some Sour Patch Kids and I felt immediately revived as the high fructose corn syrup pumped through my veins.

We finished the rest of the climb, our last one, and passed a small pond. We reached another view and met the two female backpackers, who were very friendly. They were from Maryland and it was their first time in the Pine Creek area. They commented on the beauty of the region, and warned us about the steep descent coming up. I ominously said, “I know”, having done it a few years ago. Theresa offered them some snacks, but they said they already had too much food, so I said maybe they could give us some snacks. They were about to, but I said I was only kidding.

The descent soon came, and it was steep, as we dropped down the spine of the mountain. The final view appeared and it was stunning, a 250 degree view of Slate Run and Pine Creek in the distance. We were surrounded by mountains. It was incredible. Theresa and Tyler were awestruck. We dropped down to Slate Run Road and crossed it. The hike from here was easier as we explored scenic forests with mushrooms and hemlocks. The easy terrain was most appreciated. The trail meandered through pine forests, passed behind a cabin, and brought us to a paved road that we took down to Slate Run to complete the hike.

This is one of my favorite hikes due to its scenery, challenging nature, and diverse features. There are eight vistas, waterfalls, cascades, beautiful forests, a small pond, swimming hole, diverse terrain, gorges, cliffs and rock overhangs, scenic streams, old quarries, and excellent camping. I never felt bored on this hike. Even if you don’t want to dayhike it, you can easily make this a superb overnight backpack. After hiking this gem, go to Slate Run for a celebratory meal.

Where is the next Superloop? Stay tuned.

Fork Hill-Stone Quarry Run Loop (Tioga State Forest)

Posted on August 28, 2020 by endlessmountains

This is another enjoyable hike you can do from the village of Blackwell, which is surrounded by great hiking whether it be Gillespie Point, Bohen Run and Jerry Run Falls, or the West Rim Trail. This loop follows a recent re-route of the Mid State Trail up Fork Hill, offering a nice view from Johnson Cliff. You can extend the hike with a spur to another view over the PA Grand Canyon.

From the parking area in Blackwell, walk up the road and turn left onto the Pine Creek Trail, a rail trail. Then turn right at an impressive wooden staircase on the Mid State Trail (MST) which is blazed orange. This is also the Great Eastern Trail, stretching from Alabama to New York. Begin the climb up Fork Hill with a mixture of sidehill, switchbacks, and walking up the spine of the mountain. Along the way, pass an old quarry and some unique rock outcrops. The climb is tough, but the trail levels and you reach Johnson Cliff and the fine views to the south. The MST now follows an old jeep road and passes an old communication antenna. The terrain is level and rolling. Reach an open meadow, where the MST turns left and gradually descends to Stone Quarry Run with some large pine trees. Also reach an intersection with the Stone Quarry Run Trail, blazed yellow. If you only want to hike the loop, turn left here. If you want to see the additional spur, continue straight on the MST.

The MST explores large hardwoods. Reach a yellow trail to the left, follow it. It is a spur that ends at a nice view on the east rim of the PA Grand Canyon. There was a second view just further, which looked south, but it is mostly overgrown. Return the way you came.

Descend on the yellow Stone Quarry Run Trail, with a steep gorge below. It was beautiful to have views of the gorge through the trees. At the bottom, the trail switchbacks and becomes steeper right before ending at the rail trail. Here, there is a falls for you to enjoy. I’ve read there is another falls upstream, but I have not seen it. Hike the rail trail back to Blackwell and your car.

The loop is about 5-6 miles, and about 7-8 miles if you include the spur to the other view. I recommend doing this hike when Stone Quarry Run is flowing so you can enjoy the falls. Park at 41.556211, -77.381873.

Pine Creek Gorge has so much great hiking. Explore it.

Golden Eagle and Hilborn Superloop-Tiadaghton State Forest

Posted on July 1, 2020 by endlessmountains

This rugged, beautiful loop combines the classic Golden Eagle Trail and the Hilborn Trails and should be on the list of any hiker looking for a challenge. Along it are stunning views, deep gorges, old growth trees, and cascades. And it can only really be dayhiked, adding to the challenge. Camping is not allowed on the game lands or the Golden Eagle Trail. There are some state forest lands along the Dragons Back Trail that may allow camping, but there are no established sites. Theresa joined me on this hike.

We began by hiking the orange blazed Golden Eagle Trail (GET) counterclockwise. We trekked up to Ravenshorn, passing several trail runners. After enjoying the views, we descended on the narrow ridge passing rock formations down to Wolf Run. The trail along Wolf Run is a favorite, with beautiful cascades and slides in a deep gorge. Wolf Run can be dry in the summer. As we hiked up the run, we enjoyed some giant hemlock and pine trees. At the top, we saw a nice view and then hiked a grassy forest road to beautiful Beulahland Vista, probably the most bucolic and serene vista you could hope to find. We did a quick side hike to Bonnell Run Vista where we saw a group of Amish hikers.

We retraced our steps back to grassy Beulahland Road, which is not blazed. We hiked it for over a mile until there was a road climbing to the left, we took it. It brought us to stunning Twin Mountain Vista, a favorite of the hike. It reminded me of being in the Catskills. The trail now followed an unblazed ATV trail, but it was easy to follow as we hiked the ridge and made a short climb, and then a gradual descent to another great view from a meadow. The descent steepened to a great view looking across the gorge of Hilborn Run. From there, the trail became very steep as it threaded its way down to the rail trail.

We took a break at the rail trail where a sign pointed us towards the Hilborn Run Trail; again, not blazed but easy to follow. At first the trail was a gradual climb as it entered the gorge. We took a side trail to the left which brought us into the heart of the gorge, it was beautiful but not the right route. We returned to the proper trail. The climb began to get steeper, but never as steep as the Hilborn Bald Trail. We enjoyed some giant hemlock trees and the climb seemed relentless. We finally reached the top and the GET where we saw two hikers, but our route took us right onto a grassy forest road, which was unblazed. The yellow blazed trail began where the forest road ended.

We hiked the ridge which gradually became narrower above the Pine Creek Gorge. We then ran into Ericks and Dave, who were thruhiking the PA Wilds Trail. They were getting close to the end of their incredible journey and were looking a little tired. After talking, we headed down to Webber’s Vista, named after Pine Creek icon Bob Webber who built many of the trails in the area. The view was great as it looked down on Slate Run.

Next was the descent of Quarry Mountain Trail, but first we went straight on an old road along the ridge to enjoy an incredible view looking up Slate Run. The descent was moderate as we switchbacked down the mountain to PA 414. We crossed the road and followed the rail trail to the left enjoying wildflowers, an old cemetery and great views of beautiful Pine Creek as people fished and kayaked. This area is incredible.

The rail trail brought us back to the cars, ending our exhausting but beautiful hike.
This hike is about 16 miles long and has about 7,000 vertical feet of climbing and descending. It is one of the most challenging and beautiful dayhikes you can do in the state. After finishing, celebrate with a meal and beverages in Slate Run or Waterville.

Parking is at 41.438796, -77.510714. For the map above, brown trails are not blazed, but are easy to follow.

Hiking at Hills Creek State Park

Posted on February 10, 2020 by endlessmountains

Hills Creek State Park is a beautiful place to camp and explore. It features a lake and miles of easy to moderate trails, including the longest trail in the state, the Mid State Trail. The park is also an excellent basecamp for those wishing to explore the Pine Creek Gorge region. A great loop you can hike at the park is along the Tauschers, Lakeside and Yellow Birch Trails. The Mid State Trail follows part of the Lakeside Trail. The trails are blazed yellow, and the Mid State is blazed orange.

This loop is easy to moderate with hilly terrain in places. It offers beautiful views of the lake along small bays and coves, streams, diverse forests of pine, hemlock and spruce, and wetlands. This loop is about 3.5 miles long.

Start at the parking area for the Tauschers Trail (41.805574, -77.191253) and hike it to the right. The trail explores pine forests and climbs to the cabin area before dropping down into a hemlock forest above a creek. Reach the park road and turn right. Turn right again on the Yellow Birch Trail. This short, hilly trail explores streams and offers a view over Tauscher Pond before climbing a ridge of large, open hardwoods, before descending back to the park road.

Now continue on the Lakeside Trail as it explores the shore with its bays and coves, offering many views over the lake. Scenic forests of pine and hemlock adorn the trail. Reach the north end of the lake, where the Mid State Trail joins from the right. Hike over some hills and then descend to a boat launch before entering a spruce forest. This is a beautiful section as the trail enters the spruce forests with views of the lake. Small streams drain into the lake, and in two places, the streams flow under large spruce trees! The spruce forest is particularly scenic after a fresh snowfall.

Pass a second boat launch; the dock here provides superb views of the lake and the mountains to the north. Reach the road, turn left, and cross the dam. The trail turns right off the road, climbs some steps, and passes along a picnic area. Before reaching the park office, cross the road, and proceed on a new, scenic trail that explores pines, an inlet and some wetlands, before climbing up to the parking area where you parked.

Other great hikes nearby are Sand Run Falls in the Tioga State Forest and the C. Lynn Keller Trail near Hammond Lake.

Fork Hill Boulder City and Cliffs-Tioga State Forest

Posted on December 2, 2019 by endlessmountains

I enjoy exploring giant rocks and cliffs. Such places have a primeval feel with the draperies of moss, lichens, and ferns, and they often harbor unique ecosystems and habitats as they tend to hold or trap colder air. An area of these giant rocks came to my attention in the Tioga State Forest, above Stony Fork, on a mountain called Fork Hill. I parked off of Clay Mine Road to check them out. I then walked down the road as it began to descend to Stony Fork. Where some large rocks abutted the road, I first headed to the north, or my left.

I walked along some giant rocks that grew into the size of cliffs. I really enjoyed a 30 foot tall monolith capped with ferns and some hemlocks. Nearby were giant cliffs and a cave-like overhang. North of here the rocks appeared to recede in size, so I retraced my steps south back to Clay Mine Road, crossed it, and headed south along the rocks.

I was soon treated to some mossy passageways between some lower ledges. Heading south, the rocks grew in size, creating impressive boulder cities and mazes. These rocks towered 30-50 feet. It was fascinating to walk between the giants and explore the various passages. I continued south with some large cliffs and overhangs with small caves and crevices. This stretch of giant rocks is one of the most impressive in the PA Wilds.

I then reached a valley of sorts where the rocks were smaller and broken down. I crossed a small runoff stream and stayed above the ledges to avoid some thick laurel. I reached a pine forest and more giant rocks, included a massive overhang with a pointed ledge. My exploration ended with an impressive long chasm with a passageway about a hundred or so feet long. From here, I hiked off trail in a westerly direction through the woods to a forest road. While there was some laurel, the woods were mostly open and the hiking was fairly easy. I reached a dirt forest road. I turned right and headed back to my car.

I parked at 41.596717, -77.367790. Keep in mind this parking area is not accessible when there is snow or ice, and there is no bridge where Clay Mine Road crosses Stony Fork. On the map, the dashed black lines are the smaller or broken down rocks. Solid black lines are the larger cliffs and boulders.

Hiking Cedar Run-Tioga State Forest

Posted on September 4, 2019 by endlessmountains

Cedar Run is a tributary of Pine Creek, it is known for its scenery and trout fishing. Cedar Run flows through a deep canyon in the Tioga State Forest. I’ve heard rumors of the beauty of this stream, and decided to check it out myself. This hike comprised of walking up Cedar Run itself, often in the water, and then returning via Leetonia Road. This hike is about 7 miles in total.

I found a place to pull off along Leetonia Road and simply walked off trail down to Cedar Run. I encountered a steep cliff, but took a more gradual deer path down to the creek. From there I simply walked upstream. The water was clear and pristine, not to mention refreshing on such a warm day. As I walked upstream, the scenery of Cedar Run revealed itself with deep, translucent pools, and towering grottos and cliffs. There were deep forests of large hemlock and pine. This section of Cedar does not have any waterfalls on it, or large rapids.

Whenever the creek made a bend, there seemed to be cliffs and deep pools. At times I walked along the bank above the creek when the terrain allowed. As I walked up the creek, I saw a flock of fifteen mergansers. I was pushing them up the creek, and they clearly wanted to go down. I hiked up the bank, and let them pass downstream. They scurried through the water, leaving a wake of bubbling foam.

As I continued upstream, the scenery continued to impress. Despite Leetonia Road being close by, I felt I was in the midst of a vast wilderness. This hike was beautiful, and relaxing. By the time I reached Straight Run on the right, the cliffs and grottos had largely receded to steep wooded hillsides. I then hiked up to Tumbling Run, which featured a twenty foot falls and a cabin perched above it. A truly beautiful spot.

I continued upstream to Long Branch and left Cedar Run. I hiked up Long Branch and scrambled up to the red blazed Long Branch Trail. Up Long Branch was a beautiful ten foot falls. I hiked the Long Branch Trail out to Mine Hole Road, turned left, and hiked a short distance to Leetonia Road, which I then walked back to my car.

This is an ideal summer “crick walk” when the water is low. Do not attempt in high water. Cedar Run is a beautiful creek that you will enjoy.

I parked at or about 41.530243, -77.453171.
