A 3-day, 2-night backpacking adventure around The Black Forest Trail in July 2021. The Black Forest Trail is considered by many to be one of the hardest hiking trails in Pennsylvania, and definitely should not be underestimated. The official mileage is posted as 42, however I clocked in about 48 miles in total. So just be aware that this loop might be longer than you expect, depending on where you start and which way you go. And don't let the mileage fool you, it's really the steep ups and downs that make this loop so difficult. But the reward is worth it. Great views, tons of campsites, and lots of miles with no crowds.
