Loyalsock Trail Day 3 – Big Miles, Big Views, and Burgers at World’s End | Full PA Thru-Hike

Day 3 of our Loyalsock Trail thru-hike was our biggest and final push—25 miles of stunning views, rugged terrain, and an unforgettable stop for burgers and fries at the World’s End State Park concession stand.

We tackled highlights like the iconic Ladder descent beside a beautiful waterfall, Upper and Lower Alpine View, Loyalsock Canyon Vista, Sones Pond, and the famous Haystacks in Loyalsock Creek. Warm weather and sun in the afternoon made for a perfect finish, even if we had to hike into the dark to reach the cars.

This wrapped up our 3-day, 59-mile journey on one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic long trails. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
