“for those looking for solitude”
For the hiker or packer who is looking for solitude, this is the trail to use. This trail is not maintained by Forest Service crews, but does occasionally get logged out by hunters and packers. It can be difficult to negotiate for the beginner or intermediate trail user. This trail leaves Forest Service Road 5401811 and goes west for 3 miles to tie in with the Canyon Mountain Trail 218.
The 62-mile long Pine Creek Trail curves along the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, a narrow gorge carved by Pine Creek, with the sheer walls of the Allegheny Mountains jutting up 1,400 feet to either side of the path. With those sheer mountain walls so close, the light constantly changes with every turn in the path.

This is a great hike, in the beginning you will meet many other hikers, but once you're getting further it will become more and more lonesome and breathtakingly beautiful!
We did this as a family of four (2 boys, age 12 and 14) they all loved it. Its best to plan your lunch at the end of the trail.
