These picture were taken while backpacking section seven of the Loyalsock Trail. This section, which goes from World's end State Park to Sones Pond is 7.5 miles one way and takes approximately 6.5 hours. The elevation range for this section is from 1105' to 1900'. The Loyalsock is blazed with red can lids with a yellow LT on them, or a yellow paint blaze with a red horizontal srtipe. Maps and a guide book can be obtained from The Alpine Club of Williamsport, or at World's End State Park.
The best part of this trip
was that this was the first backpacking trip my two nephews ever took.
We backpacked about four miles to Alpine Falls and camped near the falls.
The next day we dayhiked to Sones Pond and back and did a little bushwacking
around camp. We spent two nights on the trail and had a lot of fun.
This
is the view from High Rock Vista. This is approximately a half a mile from
World's End State Park. The LT follows along the High Rock Trail from the
park to this point. The High Rock Trail is were it all started about twenty
years ago. This was the first trail I ever hiked.
