STANDING STONE

Standing Stone trail is an 84 mile point to point trail in South Central Pennsylvania. We started at Greenwood Furnace and ended just west of Mount Union for a 27 mile weekend trip.

Day 1 started near Greenwood Furnace, we made a steep climb to the ridge and stayed there most of the day until we had steep descent to camp
Lots of rock getting to the ridge
We had to set up camp early since we could not camp in state game lands, this made for a long second day
Day 2: 16 miles back to a car and then shuttle to the start.
State game land, Pennsylvania has a lot of them
The last part of the trail is the legendary 1000 steps. I didn’t count but there are a lot of them. I later learned there are 1,036 of them

This was a nice hike but not a do over, one and done
