If you’ve been craving an old-fashioned outdoor adventure, you probably won’t find one as fun (albeit somewhat challenging) as this trail that will take you to a Pennsylvania mountaintop. It’s one of those Pennsylvania hiking trails that’s picture-perfect in every season, so it can get a bit crowded.

Tallying just five miles roundtrip, the picturesque loop trail takes you to the top of Mount Minsi via the Appalachian Trail.

The trail earns a moderate rating for a few reasons. Climbing to the top includes some rocky areas, and the trek back down can get a bit steep in spots.

Your best bet is to wear sturdy hiking shoes and to bring a sufficient supply of water to keep you hydrated. Sunscreen is always an essential item, too.

Hikers give the trail praise for being well-marked, so you shouldn't have much trouble staying on track. You'll also pass a ton of scenic beauty, including numerous waterfalls.
