The beautiful colors of the leaves on this warm fall day made this hike even more enjoyable. Four of us hiked 13 miles of the Loyalsock Trail, starting at the trail's eastern terminus. Read all about our hike and see some of the pictures taken of the leaves in their full autumn colors. [LINK TO TRIP REPORT AND PHOTOS] Housekeeping and Enhancements at PAHikes.com Over the past month there has been a lot of housekeeping being done on the PAHikes.com website. An effort was put forth to fix all broken links, including links to downloadable TOPO files. The interactive trail profile table has also been updated with the latest hikes. There have even been a few enhancements added as well. Interactive Google Maps are now being offered with every new hike posted. These maps will also be rolled out to existing hikes in stages. And finally we have added State Forest hiking maps. Currently listing hikes in Rothrock, Bald Eagle, and Sproul State Forests, these new maps show exact locations of hikes done within the State Forests borders.
