    MST via 3 Bridges-Spruce Gap-MST-Bear Meadows-Jean Aaron-Lonberger
    Spruce Gap is a long, steep downhill, with loose rock. Bear Meadows is quite muddy. MST is rocky. One vista. One dry campsite on the MST section. Would be a nice site for an overnight.

    Alan Seeger Hike
    Pretty cool trail, the stream runs right next to you for the most part. Quite a few campsites by the water once you’re a mile or two in. Possible longer trips too.

    Shingletown Gap Trail, Harris, PA, USA
    This was a great mixed trail with nice technical rocky areas, ridge riding, nice long downhill sections, and switchbacks. The best part is most of the up hill is an leisurely uphill ride back to the parking area on laurel run road. Can be a shorter ride time wise. We took breaks.

    Ruins to Seeger Road (Gaurav, Gandhi and Utsav)
    This particular route has a steady climb up to the fire tower. Well maintained trail.

    Beaver Pond Loop via Mid-State Trail and Jackson Trail
    This hike had a lot of places to stop and get great views. The terrain changed many times, which made for a nice change of pace. I will definitely be going back to hike or even camp in one of the sites the trail has to offer.
