Hit the trails! Hike 100 miles.

Remember, the 100 Mile Trail Challenge must be completed between September 1st and August 31st!
You can hike any trail in PA! You’re welcome to hike on any trail that fits within your comfort and experience level, including township, private, unblazed trails, multi-use trails, etc. Learn about major hiking trails on our website, check with your local hiking club to hike with a group, or use resources like AllTrails or DCNR to find trails and plan your hikes.
You can make the 100 Mile Trail Challenge your own by incorporating a personal goal! This could be anything from hiking 10 trails with waterfalls, reaching a cumulative elevation goal, trying 6 new trails in 6 state parks, or hiking each of your 100 miles with a hiking club!
If you share photos of your hikes on social media, use #100miletrailchallenge and tag KTA with @keystonetrails
