Catching the Fall Foliage
Many trails in Pennsylvania offer great opportunities to view the change in color of the leaves. Plan a hike in the autumn on the West Rim Trail and you'll be treated with many colorful vistas.
Ideal For A Summer Outing
An often overlooked backpacking trail in Central PA is the Chuck Keiper Trail. Plan a summer outing to enjoy the cool valleys and pleasant waterfalls. But be prepared for a challenge; steep climbs and descents are scattered all along the trail.
