Bob Webber Trail

Tiadaghton State Forest
Cammal, PA
3.6 miles / 5.8 km
July 17, 2019
A good challenge hike - short and steep. Great views at the top. Ive used this trail to access Pine Cliff Vista from this trail as well.
Hiking

Golden Eagle Trail

Tiadaghton State Forest
Cammal, PA
9.9 miles / 15.9 km
October 14, 2019
Views from Raven’s Horn are incredible. I stumbled upon rattlesnakes here before. The rest of the trail is just as scenic. More views up Bonnell Run and Beulahland. I’ve hiked this in both directions (Going up Bonnel Run first, Going up to Raven’s Horn first) - I prefer doing the latter.
Hiking

Hemlock Mountain Loop

Tiadaghton State Forest
Slate Run, PA
5.4 miles / 8.7 km
October 20, 2020
Very scenic loop to soak in the fall foliage views. A good challenge hike and a good introduction to the Black Forest Trail. I did have trouble finding the trailhead, as it was blocked by a RV (it’s trailhead is right beside a campsite at the end of Naval Run Rd).
Hiking

Dragon's Back Trail

Tiadaghton State Forest
Slate Run, PA
3.8 miles / 6.1 km
January 31, 2022
I’ve hiked this trail once in the summer, but I decided to do a sunset snowshoe through to the trail. Was a good leg workout and the snow depth increased as I made my way up. Incredible views at the end, as I enjoyed the sunset. Another classic hike within the Pine Creek Valley.
Hiking

Gillespie Point via Mid State Trail

Tioga State Forest
Blackwell, PA
2.0 miles / 3.2 km
March 14, 2019
Hiked this in icy conditions, but it wasn’t too bad! Ascent was challenging at times, but views at the end were worth it.
Hiking

Chimney Rock Vista Hike

Tioga State Forest
Cedar Run, PA
5.0 miles / 8.0 km
October 02, 2021
I went into this hike thinking that there would be only one view, being from Chimney Rock, but I was wrong! This turned out to be a real scenic hike, from the cascades on Bull Run to the multiple vistas from the side of the mountain. Definitely a great hike.
Hiking

Turkey Path

Leonard Harrison State Park
Wellsboro, PA
2.2 miles / 3.5 km
October 18, 2018
This was the first trail in the Pine Creek Valley that I completed. An awesome introductory trail that showcases the rugged topography and beauty of the area. I only have gone back once, but definitely is a great trail for new hikers to the areas.
Hiking

PA Half Dome

Tiadaghton State Forest
Slate Run, PA
4.3 miles / 6.9 km
March 24, 2022
Pretty cool walk to get there. Loved the signage before the extreme ascent. Several views at the top of Half Dome, as well as a Geocache. Would love to hike this again sometime, and be more prepared. (Didn’t have the best footwear or trekking poles).
Hiking

Barbour Rock Accessible Trail

Tioga State Forest
Wellsboro, PA
1.3 miles / 2.1 km
March 20, 2022
Hiked during the Thunderstorm on 3/20/22. Very windy and rainy, but the post-storm skies were colorful and amazing. Stumbled upon Common Juniper and Eastern Red Cedar on the cliff edge, never seen before! Always a favorite trail to stop at while in the area.
