John P. Saylor Trail Day Hike
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2024
- The John P. Saylor Trail is a 17.5 mile loop trail located in Gallitzin State Forest in Pennsylvania. The main trailhead is located at the Babcock Picnic Area just off Route 56. This picnic area has restrooms and plenty of parking. The trail is composed of a 12.5 mile loop connected to a 5 mile smaller loop via a swinging bridge. The Saylor Trail is a superb beginner trail with plentiful water, minimal elevation, beautiful scenery, and nice camping. Hikers should know that normally the Saylor is rather wet and boggy in the sections along Clear Shade Creek. I highly recommend this trail to folks looking for an excellent first overnight backpacking trip. If you have any questions please let me know!

Really nice hike! Thanks for sharing
Bridge looked like a fun time. Overall, nice looking trail. We planed on doing the Elk Trail but my wife had some chest pains and is now the proud owner of two stints. She's recovering well and said she wants to go hiking soon, so I've been looking for an easy overnight trail. Thanks and have a great fall season.
That bridge was a little wonky for sure haha. I'm glad your wife is doing well. This is definitely a nice easy overnight option for you. Happy hiking!
God bless those Trail Maintenance folks.Keep the vids coming, love your channel. Hope Dave completes his home improvement project in time to hike w/ u this fall
Great video! I hiked this trail just about two weeks after you did. The fall colors were beautiful!
Thanks Jeff!
Great job again. Just did the Mount Lafayette Franconia ridge loop last weekend.check it out. It was amazing.
Thanks I'll have to check that out. I need to make it up to the Whites.
I saw a comment about you guys possible doing the Loyalsock this month. Is that still happening? Really looking forward to that video
Hello Ryan. Was planning on it but not sure it's in the cards for this fall. I did just solo the Quehanna Trail last weekend so be on the lookout for that video!
@@vistaventures1343 For sure! No Dave again?
