Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail Print

The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is 70 miles long and especially near the southern end, is quite rugged, and provisions have been made to keep the trail as primitive as possible. Most of the trail is on Laurel Mountain, with a high average elevation, topping out above 2,700 feet, but there are some sections where it drops 1,000 feet or so to the valley floor.
