Went to Gallatzin State Park and did the John P Saylor Trail as an over-nighter. We did both the large and small loops, and the Bog Trail. Very well-marked trail on mostly old railroad grades and woods roads. Very diverse hiking! Started in hardwood forest
Then hit the graffiti covered Wolf Rocks
Then Hemlocks with colorful mushrooms
And bogs. It seemed the trails are looped around these amazing bogs
One serene creek
Camped at an old lumber camp
Hiking through ferns
Across the "closed " bridge
Beaver dam created pond
Then the big bog
Then back on the woods road and back to our cars. The last bit of trail does parallel the road, so the noise can ruin your zen. Because of that and the graffiti, this one gets a 4 out of 5 stars.

I'm going to get around to doing this one someday, but for now I have at least three others I want to do first, during the fall foliage extravaganza.
