Backpacking the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) | Part 2 Miles 57 to 38
Brent, Jonnie, and I set out in July of 2021 to backpack the entire 70-mile thru-hike of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) from Seward to Ohiopyle.
In Part 2 of our journey on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, we travel from the Route 271 Shelters to the Turnpike Shelters, just past mile marker 39.
This section of trail has some awesome rock formations that you get to walk through as well as the breathtaking Beam Rocks towards the end of the day.
This was a very long day at right around 21 miles covered including the access trails that we took.

The 70-mile hiking trail stretches along Laurel Mountain from the picturesque Youghiogheny River at Ohiopyle State Park to the Conemaugh Gorge near Johnstown.
Seasoned backpackers challenge themselves on the steep, rugged areas of the trails. Casual hikers enjoy areas that are reasonably level and pleasant for walking.
The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is the main feature of Laurel Ridge State Park. It traverses state parks, state forests, state game lands, other public lands, and private lands.
The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is a major segment of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, a network of trails between the mouth of the Potomac River and the Allegheny Highlands.
