Title: 6.5Mile Moderate to Advanced Hike – Mid State Trail Section 1
Description: This 6.5-mile point-to-point hike explores Section 1of the Mid State Trail, traveling from Beans Cove Road to the Garlic Trail at Route 326. The trailhead is a 40-minute one-way drive, making this a true out-of-area adventure. The route climbs to Martin Hill, the highest point on the Mid State Trail, and passes through the scenic Sweet Root Natural Area.
With 1,100 feet of climbing and 1,100 feet of descending, this hike is more difficult than the mileage suggests. Expect sustained climbs, steep descents, and rugged footing, making it best suited for experienced hikers prepared for a challenging but rewarding trek through classic central Pennsylvania terrain.
