Backpacking the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) | Part 4 Miles 25 to 6
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 4 of our thruhike of the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, we travel from the Grindle Ridge Shelters, just before mile marker 25, all the way down to the Ohiopyle shelters around mile marker 6. We see some more amazing rock formations and 2 beautiful mountain vistas before starting the steep decline down to the campground for the night.
We ended up covering just short of 19 miles on the day.

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.
