Solo Overnight on the West Rim Trail – Grand Canyon of PA Views!

Solo overnight backpacking trip on Pennsylvania’s stunning West Rim Trail – also known as the Grand Canyon of PA. I hiked northbound, starting at dawn, and knocked out 18 miles on day one, reaching a gorgeous vista campsite by mid-afternoon. The weather was perfect – highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s – making for an incredible hike and relaxing evening. I enjoyed dinner, my pipe, and the peaceful view before day two’s final push to some of the best vistas in the state.

West Rim Trail Quick Facts:
• Location: Tioga State Forest, Pennsylvania
• Distance: ~30 miles (point-to-point)
• Direction: Northbound
• Highlights: Pine Creek Gorge overlooks, scenic hardwood forests, ridge walking
• Nickname: The “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania”

Whether you’re planning your own West Rim Trail hike or just want to enjoy the scenery, join me for this incredible adventure.
