My husband and I did a quick backpacking trip with two friends and a dog this weekend. We did the Laurel Highlands Trail from PA Route 653 to the backpackers' parking lot near Ohiopyle State Park. It was such a nice trip. We had good weather (overcast on Saturday, sunny on Sunday). We stayed in one of the shelters at mile 6. That was kind of a treat: bathrooms, a pile of split firewood, a water pump, and a fireplace in our shelter. Can't ask for much more than that.
A passage between large boulders. There were several spots along the trail like this. They were all pretty neat.
A small pond along the trail.
One of the mile markers on the LHT.
Our shelter at Ohiopyle.
Oak leaves.
The Youghiogheny River from the trail.
