When I was invited by Dan from Backpacking Adventures to come along on a thru-hike of Pennsylvania's famed Loyalsock trail, I was quick to jump at the opportunity. Little did I know just how hard this trail would push me to my limits. The loyalsock trail is a 60-mile, point-to-point trail in central Pennsylvania, with over 11,000ft in total elevation gain. It traverses some of the most scenic and rugged terrain the state has to offer. We planned to hike this trail in 4 days and 3 nights, from west to east. Come along with us as we attempt to navigate all the challenges that the Loyalsock trail throws at us, in our attempt to complete a thru-hike.
