America250 PA Cumberland County Appalachian Trail Hikes: Scott Farm & Appalachian Trail History Hike
June 27 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Delve into the history of the trail! Hear some of its origin stories and learn how groups, like Keystone Trails Association, help maintain it. Our three-mile hike northbound brings us to an informal campsite with a rusted car and spring; then we backtrack to our starting point for a total of six miles. This is a relatively easy section of trail with some moderate uphill and downhill. The pace is moderate, about 2.5 mph.
Come in your broken-in hiking boots or shoes, be dressed for the weather, and have water and snacks. This hike is suitable for ages 12 and older (attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult) and well-behaved dogs on leash with current vaccinations.
Hosted by Jim Foster. Jim hiked the entire Appalachian Trail in 2007, has maintained portions of the Trail for several decades, and chairs the Keystone Trails Association’s Appalachian Trail Section committee.
