the camPground faster.<br />

Did you know that Route 66 began in 1926 when<br />

the Bureau of Public Roads launched the nation’s<br />

first Federal highway system? It’s interesting to note<br />

that the path of Route 66 was a cobbling together of<br />

existing local, State, and national road networks, much<br />

like other highways in the system.<br />

Another interesting fact is that the first RVs in America<br />

were independently built as single units. According to<br />

Smithsonian, the first RV was hand built onto a vehicle<br />

in 1904. It had incandescent lights, an icebox, and<br />

even a radio. It could sleep up to four adults in bunks.<br />

We’ve always been fascinated by the history of RVs in<br />

the United States, especially how they’re connected<br />

to Route 66. For decades, families would pack up their<br />

RVs and hit the open road, making Route 66 one of the<br />

most traveled highways in the country. It’s not hard to<br />

see why: owning an RV offers a sense of freedom and<br />

adventure that’s hard to find anywhere else. Today,<br />

RVs remain a popular way to explore the country, with<br />

many travelers renting or purchasing an RV for their<br />

road trip. Whether you’re a seasoned RV enthusiast<br />

or a first-time traveler, exploring is the destination for<br />

an unforgettable journey through some of America’s<br />

most iconic landscapes and landmarks.<br />

EXPLORING Penn’s Woods<br />

RVing is a great way to <strong>Explore</strong> Pennsylvania. According to an independent study by Go RVing<br />

and the RV Industry Association (RVIA), traveling in an RV could save you money on your<br />

vacation. The CBRE Hotels Advisory Group study found travelers can save an average of up to<br />

60% for four-persons and 46% for two-person travel parties depending on the type of RV and<br />

type of vacation.<br />

That’s great news as you start to plan your weekend getaways and vacations for this year.<br />

As budgets tighten, Pennsylvania offers many fun outdoor activities. Parks and forests offer<br />

opportunities for camping, bird watching, hiking, fishing and more. In this issue of <strong>Explore</strong><br />

Pennsylvania, we offer a sample of the Commonwealth’s great scenic trails for hiking.<br />

If you’re thinking about a new RV, but don’t know what to buy, check out our pages explaining<br />

the different types of RVs, the number of people they can sleep and their features. It’s<br />

important to do your research before you buy. When you’re ready to take a test drive, check<br />

out our directory to find a local dealer. Remember that buying from a nearby dealer is convenient<br />

for getting your RV serviced.<br />

If you’re new to RVing, check out the Potty Talk article in this issue. While it’s not a popular<br />

topic, you’ll want to be aware of all that you need to do to maintain your RV. It’s vital to having<br />

a great experience while using your RV.<br />

For our readers considering full-time RVing or extended periods of time on the road, you might<br />

need an income source to help with your travels. This issue features tips on workcamping and<br />

volunteering on the road from full-timers Freedom in Can.<br />

Talk<br />

Properly operating your holding tanks isn’t<br />

bad…If you do it right!<br />

“<br />

By Chris Dougherty<br />

Sewage handling is<br />

my favorite part of<br />

RVing!<br />

”<br />

-Said No One Ever<br />

I get it. Having been RVing for over 50 years and a pro tech for<br />

over 20, I have seen most of what can happen to cause, shall we<br />

say, a mishap. I have tested many products over the years that<br />

promise to make the process cleaner, better, and more manageable.<br />

Many of them do. But using your tanks correctly is essential;<br />

the best products can’t help a problem caused by misuse.<br />

The waste system in an RV is quite different from that in a house<br />

or building, so it needs to be operated differently.<br />

There are several differences between the waste system in an<br />

RV and a building system, the most notable of which is/are the<br />

holding tank(s). In a building, we never have to think about it. We<br />

open the drain, flush the toilet, and then go about our day. But<br />

as RVers, we collect our waste and then dump the tanks at the<br />

appropriate time.<br />

This is essential. We need the collected wastewater for the<br />

system to work correctly. If we don’t have that, the system fails<br />

because solids in the waste stream collect in the tanks and solidify.<br />

Not only does this create an odor issue, but the solids can build<br />

up enough to plug the tank, and that makes for a bad day.<br />

In my seminars and classes, when discussing holding tank maintenance,<br />

I recommend that an RVer start with about 1/8 of a tank<br />

of water and a favorite additive in the empty black tank. The 1/8<br />

is a guide; more is better, but many folks count on preserving<br />

holding tank space while boondocking. The idea is for any solids<br />

to be submerged in the water and additive.<br />

Remember: Water is your Best Friend.<br />

Add an entire bowl of water when introducing solids into the<br />

black tank. No solids? Little or no added water. That will help to<br />

keep the water level where it needs to be. If you can see down<br />

into your tank, see if the solid material is out of the water, and<br />

if so, add more water.<br />

When at a full hookup campsite, NEVER leave the dump valves<br />

open! Fill the tanks, then dump them, black first, then grey. Close<br />

the valves when done and replace the water/additive level in the<br />

black tank.<br />

So, why do I recommend this? Because first, the water is what<br />

actively liquefies the solids. Second, the hydraulic pressure, or<br />

flow, carries the solids out when draining the tank. If I have a<br />

tank full of solids without enough water, the water drains around<br />

them, and that’s it...the solids remain. And, while black tank<br />

flushers are fine, they can’t handle too much solid material,<br />

and the buildup begins. Continued on the next page 19<br />

Maintaining<br />

your holding<br />

tank requires<br />

the proper<br />

RV products<br />

Toilet additives do two primary things:<br />

deodorize and dissolve. They assist the<br />

natural process and make it more pleasant.<br />

Helping dissolve allows the effluent to<br />

drain more thoroughly, and any remaining<br />

amount in the tank is flushed out with the<br />

black tank flusher.<br />

A good sewer hose kit makes dumping easy and clean. A wye can connect hoses if your<br />

RV has more than one termination.<br />

While I don’t recommend any particular<br />

RV toilet additive, I recommend ones without<br />

formaldehyde (illegal in some places<br />

anyway); they need to deodorize and break<br />

down waste. Otherwise, try different ones<br />

and see how they work. Do NOT use homemade<br />

brew suggestions, like mixing various<br />

chemicals, laundry detergents, etc. These<br />

can be dangerous and harmful to your RV’s<br />

waste system and the campground’s septic<br />

system.<br />

Toilet paper designed for RV/Marine use is<br />

also essential. It needs to break down quickly<br />

in water. Some deluxe papers can foul<br />

the black tank, so get a paper designed for<br />

RV use. Bob Livingston of RV Enthusiast<br />

magazine did a detailed article on toilet paper,<br />

which you can find on its website, www.<br />

rventhusiast.com.<br />

A good sewer hose kit and attachments are<br />

among the best accessory purchases. While<br />

not inexpensive, the super-duty kits from<br />

companies like Camco, Thetford, Valterra,<br />

and others will make your dumping chores<br />

far more straightforward and cleaner. I<br />

prefer a 15-foot kit with a 5-foot and a 10-<br />

foot extension. If your RV has two sewer<br />

termination outlets, add a wye and an<br />

additional hose to connect them all. Your<br />

sewer tool kit should include disposable mechanic’s<br />

grade gloves, a grey/black water<br />

utility water hose with shut off, and spare<br />

parts like gaskets or fittings.<br />

If you operate the system properly, there<br />

is very little maintenance required. Dump<br />

valves can get sticky or leaky and may<br />

require maintenance, and if you have an<br />

odor issue, there are companies across the<br />

prvca.org | largestRVshow.com<br />

A recommended kit should have three<br />

hoses that can be used independently or<br />

connected for long runs, like a 15-foot, a<br />

10-foot, and a 5-foot, the sewer connection<br />

fitting and a utility water hose that is a<br />

different color to keep it separate from<br />

drinking water hoses.<br />

country that pressure wash the insides of<br />

holding tanks on RVs.<br />

Some odor issues are a result of ventilation<br />

issues. Ventilation in an RV waste system<br />

is essential, and sometimes, the roof vents<br />

can become plugged, or windy conditions<br />

can encourage the tank odor to come into<br />

the RV when flushing. This can often be<br />

eliminated by changing the roof vent covers<br />

to a venturi-type product like Lippert’s 360-<br />

Siphon, which uses as little as a slight breeze<br />

to draw a vacuum in the tank, drawing odor<br />

out when flushing.<br />

So, while using the holding tanks on your<br />

RV may not be the most pleasurable part<br />

of the experience, it is a necessary one that<br />

you can become proficient at. If done<br />

correctly, you’ll have no problems and can<br />

enjoy your travels!<br />

This 4-season RV has a single termination,<br />

and the valves are in a heated space inside<br />

the frame. The handles, which are color<br />

-coded grey and black, remotely operate<br />

the fullway valves inside.<br />

People who RV<br />

at non-hookup<br />

sites might<br />

consider a portable<br />

holding<br />

tank that can<br />

be towed to a<br />

dump station<br />

for emptying.<br />

Hit the Road<br />

HELP<br />

WANTED<br />

By Shari Galiardi<br />

and David “Hutch” Hutchison<br />

The authors volunteered<br />

at the Albuquerque<br />

International Balloon<br />

Fiesta.<br />

After listening to a former<br />

university colleague loudly<br />

complain about the state of<br />

affairs at our institution for far<br />

too long, I asked, “Well, what<br />

are you going to do about it?”<br />

He replied, “Complain for 16<br />

more years and then retire, of<br />

course!”<br />

Perhaps you’ve heard a similar line<br />

echoing around your employer’s break<br />

room. Perhaps you’ve uttered something<br />

like it yourself?<br />

prvca.org | largestRVshow.com<br />

Is there another way to keep earning a<br />

living, and still save for the future without<br />

having to stare down the sentence of<br />

another decade (or more) in your current<br />

career track?<br />

Since we hit the road in 2012, we’ve gotten<br />

a ton of questions about working from the<br />

road. With a bit of creativity, a heavy dose<br />

of resourcefulness, and some dumb luck,<br />

we’ve found plenty of paid work opportunities<br />

(both online and in-person) while traveling<br />

in our little vintage canned-ham camper<br />

named Hamlet. We’ve also found ways to<br />

volunteer, allowing us to give back, meet<br />

new friends, and stretch our travel budget.<br />

While what we’ve done for pay has evolved<br />

significantly over the years, it’s important to<br />

note that we’ve never needed to work yearround;<br />

and not only have we never dipped<br />

into our savings, we still contribute to our<br />

retirement. While that concept might look a<br />

little different for us, it’s good to know that<br />

we’ll have options.<br />

Has every job been awesome? Not a<br />

chance. Some were truly challenging,<br />

while others were super fun and rewarding!<br />

No matter how it shaked out, we’ve always<br />

learned something important from each<br />

experience.<br />

Now Hiring! Finding<br />

Work on the Road<br />

Shari + Hutch + Hamlet<br />

In 2012, Shari Galiardi & David Hutchison<br />

left behind careers and a comfortable<br />

home in North Carolina to travel with<br />

the vintage camper trailer they lovingly<br />

restored, outfitted with solar, and named<br />

“Hamlet.” What began as a short break<br />

from careers and responsibility quickly<br />

turned into a love affair with roadlife.<br />

They have parlayed their higher<br />

education backgrounds, desire for lifelong<br />

learning, and thirst for adventure<br />

travel into writing, photography, video<br />

production, and public speaking gigs<br />

from coast to coast. Known to their<br />

friends as simply Shari & Hutch, you<br />

can learn more about their full-time,<br />

solar-powered adventures on their<br />

website at freedominacan.com. Or,<br />

follow them on Facebook, Instagram,<br />

and YouTube as “Freedom in a Can, LLC.”<br />

Finding new work on the road requires<br />

that you look at yourself as a collection of<br />

skills applicable to a variety of settings,<br />

rather than just a list of previous positions.<br />

Think outside of the confines of your<br />

well-grooved career path, and you’ll<br />

discover a whole host of new opportunities.<br />

• Seasonal jobs and side gigs are the<br />

name of the game if you seek to work<br />

full or part-time in beautiful parts<br />

of the country. From campgrounds,<br />

outdoor outfitters, state/national<br />

parks to retail stores, to lodges,<br />

restaurants, and more, we see<br />

“Help Wanted” signs everywhere.<br />

• Online jobs are plentiful and can<br />

be full or part-time. This type of work<br />

allows you to be wherever you want to<br />

be. Since the pandemic, this category<br />

has simply exploded!<br />

• Work-trade opportunities abound<br />

in national/state parks, as well as<br />

through workamping, organic<br />

farming, and various volunteer<br />

opportunities which cover your stay<br />

in exchange for a few days per week<br />

of work.<br />

• Starting your own mobile business.<br />

Millions of people have figured out<br />

how to do this while traveling –<br />

including ourselves with Freedom in<br />

a Can, LLC. We do writing, photography,<br />

videography, and seminars – all from<br />

the convenience of our camper, with<br />

out any electrical hook-ups. In fact,<br />

this article was written from an<br />

off-grid campground at a national<br />

historical park in central New Mexico<br />

using our Starlink!<br />

• Many careers offer traveling<br />

opportunities. While the medical<br />

field offers opportunities for traveling<br />

nurses, doctors, radiologists, and<br />

veterinarians, we’ve also met<br />

accountants, construction workers,<br />

financial advisors, videographers,<br />

graphic designers, occupational<br />

therapists, writers, sales people,<br />

photographers, and many others.<br />

Skip the Classifieds!<br />

We’ve found 99% of our seasonal<br />

and online jobs by simply asking up front,<br />

rather than combing through posted job<br />

listings. We decided where we wanted to<br />

be for the season, and then reached out.<br />

Here are just a few examples:<br />

• We emailed the owner of a gorgeous<br />

campground at which we had stayed<br />

a couple of years prior. In addition<br />

to a campground and rustic cabins,<br />

they offered eco-tours, guided kayak<br />

experiences, and sailing lessons. We<br />

sent over our resumes and references,<br />

and within a week, we both had jobs<br />

for the summer.<br />

• Just before we left to volunteer for<br />

4 months in Kenya, we contacted the<br />

manager at a popular winery in<br />

northern Michigan that we loved.<br />

Upon return from Africa, we had jobs<br />

waiting for us as Tasting Room<br />

Associates for the summer and fall<br />

seasons.<br />

• Another year, we secured volunteer<br />

positions with the Education Team at<br />

Acadia National Park in Maine for the<br />

spring and fall. To make money<br />

during the summer, we contacted a<br />

number of sea kayaking tour<br />

companies and campgrounds in the<br />

area. Within a few weeks, we both<br />

had full-time, seasonal jobs and a<br />

place to park Hamlet for the summer<br />

at a beautiful campground on Mt.<br />

Desert Island!<br />

None of these jobs were posted. We just<br />

put ourselves out there and asked, “Are<br />

you hiring?” A well-written, professional<br />

resume focusing more on your skill set,<br />

and less on your position history, never<br />

hurts.<br />

With that said, here are some resources to<br />

explore.


Seasonal Work<br />

Seasonal opportunities can be full or parttime<br />

and include campground hosting, working<br />

at national parks & state parks, guiding for<br />

tour companies, managing B&Bs, teaching at<br />

environmental education centers, working<br />

at ski resorts, restaurants, and retail stores…<br />

and so much more.<br />

If you are traveling as a couple (or with a family)<br />

one person may choose seasonal in-person<br />

work while the other works online at “home.”<br />

While this is not an exhaustive list, here are<br />

some great options for finding this type of<br />

work:<br />

• Amazon Jobs - Wide range of jobs across<br />

the U.S.<br />

• Cool Works - Cool Jobs in Beautiful Places<br />

• Kelly Services – Variety of jobs across<br />

the U.S.<br />

• National Park Service - Jobs in the U.S.<br />

National Parks<br />

• Recreation Resource Management of<br />

America - Camp hosting across the U.S.<br />

• Workamping - Campground jobs across<br />

the U.S.<br />

• Working Couples - Seeking two person<br />

teams for a Variety of Jobs<br />

Side Gigs & Odd Jobs<br />

If you are partially-retired or just seeking some<br />

additional income, pick up a side gig or odd<br />

job while traveling. Craigslist, community<br />

bulletin boards, or libraries are a good place<br />

to begin. We’ve had great luck finding odd<br />

jobs by simply posting a well-written ad on<br />

Craigslist. We’ve done yard work, light<br />

construction, home repair, painting, and<br />

cleaned homes prior to sale/rental — just to<br />

name a few. Hutch also made some extra cash<br />

busking at farmers markets — the customers<br />

and vendors loved it!<br />

Haven’t figured out your side gig yet? Lots<br />

of great ideas can be found on Side Hustle<br />

Nation!<br />

Mobile & Online Jobs<br />

Do you already have a job that allows<br />

you to work from anywhere with an<br />

internet connection?<br />

With reliable wifi* and a robust solar<br />

powered system, you’re good to go! If<br />

you are seeking to do online work while<br />

traveling, no one knows this type of work<br />

better than the folks at Escapees RV<br />

Club - it’s who they are. While there are<br />

thousands of remote work opportunities<br />

listed on various websites, be sure to<br />

check out the RVer Job Exchange and<br />

join the Xscapers Community if you plan<br />

to move around the country.<br />

*Note: There are many options for having<br />

wifi on the road, ranging from using a<br />

mobile hotspot to WeBoost to using a<br />

Starlink. We discuss these options in<br />

detail on our website.<br />

Extend Your Travel Budget with Work-Trade Volunteer Opportunities<br />

Work-Trade & Volunteer Opportunities<br />

Work-trade and volunteer opportunities are simply great ways to<br />

extend your travel budget! This could be a great option for couples<br />

in which one person is not yet retired, and the other is seeking<br />

something meaningful to dig into each day. You’ll not only get<br />

a place to park your rig, you’ll likely meet a great community of<br />

people. Some organizations also provide some meals, as well as<br />

bathroom, laundry, and wifi privileges. We’ve found that having<br />

these amenities can drastically lower our living expenses for a few<br />

weeks while we give of our time.<br />

The best part about these opportunities is that you don’t have to<br />

be an expert and you don’t need to work full-time, in fact, most are<br />

just part-time. You just need some related, transferable experience<br />

and a willingness to try new things. Here are just a few options<br />

while traveling around the country:<br />

Love to garden? Try organic farm work at small, family-owned<br />

farms – we’ve volunteered on farms from Maine to Hawaii. Check<br />

out Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms for details.<br />

Have office, people, or landscaping skills? Workamping and campground<br />

hosting are great options for folks of all ages and abilities.<br />

Some can accommodate families as well.<br />

Love music and festivals? Many festivals hire people and provide<br />

them an RV spot in exchange for their time. Check out Music<br />

Festival Wizard for a list of opportunities. We recently volunteered<br />

at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta for 11 days and had<br />

a blast!<br />

Have construction skills or want to learn some? Join a Habitat for<br />

Humanity RV Care-A-Vanner Group Build! These builds are held all<br />

over the country and many offer RV spaces and even hook-ups.<br />

Want to help with disaster relief? Join the DOVE program — a<br />

partnership between Escapees and the American Red Cross.<br />

When disasters strike, RVers are deployed to assist with a variety<br />

of critical needs.<br />

Have teaching experience and love the outdoors? The National<br />

Park Service and many state parks around the country need<br />

educators to lead interpretative tours for visitors. We’ve volunteered<br />

as Environmental Educators in a couple different parks.<br />

For local options, discover the myriad of opportunities at the<br />

Department of Conservation & Natural Resources of Pennsylvania<br />

and the Pennsylvania Parks & Forests Foundation. You’ll find<br />

volunteer work ranging from camp hosting and trail maintenance<br />

to geological mapping and fire prevention.<br />

So why even consider waiting around for another 16 years in a<br />

job you don’t like when you can simply jump into your RV and<br />

hit the road? You may not be ready to retire, you may not want to<br />

stop working, or maybe you need to support your road trip…the<br />

opportunities are out there. But we guarantee you that they won’t<br />

come knocking at your door, you’ve got to go out there and find<br />

them!<br />

America’s Largest RV Show’s ® Size &<br />

Unique Events Make It Worth Attending<br />

Pennsylvania is home to America’s Largest RV Show®. Held<br />

annually in September, the show is a great place to shop,<br />

compare and buy a new RV.<br />

Labor Day begins the week-long move-in process for 35 dealers<br />

and more than 40 manufacturers, who set-up shop at the Giant<br />

Center SM in Hershey, Pennsylvania. They bring in nearly 1,500 new<br />

RVs from the small pop-ups and travel trailers to camper vans to<br />

huge fifth wheels and Class A motorhomes.<br />

“It takes a lot of planning and logistics to get all the RVs in place at<br />

the Giant Center SM ,” says Heather Leach, executive director of the<br />

Pennsylvania RV and Camping Association. “Manufacturers and<br />

dealers spend months preparing for this huge event.”<br />

The 55th Annual America’s Largest RV Show®, presented by<br />

the Pennsylvania Recreation Vehicle and Camping Association<br />

(PRVCA), is set for September 11-15, <strong>2024</strong>. As one of the largest RV<br />

shows and one of just two manufacturer shows in the country, it<br />

is truly a unique experience. Manufacturers often debut the 2025<br />

models and have representatives on-site to showcase RVs with<br />

new designs, floor plans and latest technology for 2025. Even if<br />

you’re not ready to buy an RV, it’s a great place to research your<br />

future RV purchase.<br />

Visiting the many manufacturers with multiple brands can take a<br />

lot of time, so attending America’s Largest RV Show® is a convenient<br />

place to see a lot of RVs in one location. Attendees can check out<br />

the many brands and models, find their dream RV, obtain financing<br />

and buy it. Buyers typically arrange to go to the dealership at<br />

another time to make sure the new RV undergoes a pre-delivery<br />

inspection and the dealer staff can instruct them on the features<br />

and how they work.<br />

26 | EXPLORE Pennsylvania <strong>2024</strong><br />

It’s also a great place to find a new accessory, replace a part or<br />

upgrade your RV. More than 200 booth vendors with products for<br />

RVs, camping equipment, cleaning supplies, décor and personal<br />

care items are at the show. There are also many services, including<br />

finance companies, insurance, RV rentals, technology, vacation<br />

destinations, campgrounds and more.


PRVCA realizes education is important to maintaining<br />

and operating an RV correctly. Seminars with tips on<br />

buying an RV, maintenance, full-time RVing, towing,<br />

travel, insurance and safety are held hourly. In addition,<br />

several manufacturers offer educational opportunities<br />

and influencer appearances at their displays.<br />

America’s Largest RV Show® is worth a trip to Hershey<br />

this fall. Be sure to check it out September 11-15 at the<br />

Giant Center. Tickets go on sale in June at largestRVshow.<br />

com. Visit the website and follow the show’s Facebook<br />

and Instagram pages for the latest information and<br />

the Wild Side<br />

You don’t have to go far to enjoy spectacular views in Pennsylvania. Every area<br />

of the Commonwealth offers picturesque landscapes that make the trek worth<br />

your time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Pennsylvania has 12,000 miles of trails.<br />

So, lace up your sturdy shoes or boots and experience all that Pennsylvania<br />

has to offer.<br />

Mount Jewett to Kinzua Bridge Trail, Mount Jewett, <strong>PA</strong><br />

Deemed the 2023 Pennsylvania Trail of the Year by the<br />

Pennsylvania Trails Advisory Committee, the Mount Jewett to<br />

Kinzua Bridge Trail is a 7.9 mile out and back trail near Mount<br />

Jewett, Pennsylvania. It is a section of the Knox and Kane Rail<br />

Trail.<br />

The former rail line is level and is considered an easy hike, and<br />

is wheelchair and stroller friendly. Signs along the trail provide<br />

information on the environmental and historical features in the<br />

area. The hike ends at the Kinzua Bridge, a viaduct that was<br />

once the longest and tallest railroad structure. After the bridge<br />

was partially destroyed by a tornado in 2003, it was reimagined<br />

as a pedestrian walkway in 2011. Visitors can walk out the 600<br />

feet on the remaining supports and look through the partial<br />

glass platform at the end of the walkway to see the amazing<br />

views of the Kinzua Gorge. Learn more at https://www.dcnr.<br />

Take a Walk on the Wild Side<br />

BEFORE YOU GO<br />

• Plan a hike that matches your fitness level. You<br />

could get injured if the hike is too difficult.<br />

• Check the weather forecast. You don’t want to<br />

get caught in a thunderstorm or snowstorm.<br />

• Bring a friend - It’s more fun and safer to hike<br />

with other people.<br />

• Download the trail map. No cell service is likely<br />

in rural areas. Bring a compass to help with<br />

direction.<br />

• Bring snacks and water. You’ll want to stay<br />

hydrated on the trail.<br />

• Wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes<br />

with good traction to navigate the trails.<br />

• Bring sunscreen and insect repellant.<br />

• Share your itinerary with a friend or family<br />

member. Let them know where you will be and<br />

when you plan to return.<br />

• Stay on the trail. Follow the trail markers.<br />

Minister Creek Trail, Allegheny National Forest,<br />

near Sheffield, <strong>PA</strong><br />

The Allegheny National Forest is Pennsylvania’s only forest with a national designation.<br />

Known for its many recreational activities, hiking its scenic trails should be at the top<br />

of every visitor’s list. The Minister Creek Trail is a 6-mile loop, which is considered<br />

moderately challenging. Hikers will come across large rocks, beautiful streams and<br />

a scenic overlook, where camping is permitted. Along the trail, hikers climb to 1,048<br />

feet. White diamonds and blue markings provide direction on the trail. There is no cell<br />

service, so it’s recommended to download the trail map in advance. For more information,<br />

visit https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/pennsylvania/minister-creek-traills.<br />

Minister Creek Trail<br />

Presque Isle State Park, Erie, <strong>PA</strong><br />

As Pennsylvania’s only seashore, Presque Isle State Park offers unique views and terrain<br />

for visitors as they hike its 11 miles of trails. The Dead Pond Trail is an easy two-mile up and<br />

back hike. Hikers trek through forest, pines and sand plains. Bird watchers are commonly<br />

found on the trail, since the area is popular for migrating birds. During certain times of the<br />

year, fluctuating lake levels may cause portions of the trails to flood, making them impassible<br />

without proper footwear. Learn more about Presque Isle’s hiking trails at https://www.trecf.<br />

org/presque-isle/hiking.<br />

Quehanna Trail, Parker Dam State Park, Penfield, <strong>PA</strong><br />

The Quehanna Trail in north central Pennsylvania passes through beautiful country in the<br />

Moshannon and Elk State Forests. The trailhead is in Parker Dam State Park, where hikers<br />

can follow the orange blazes on the trail. The entire trail is nearly 73 miles. From Parker<br />

Dam hikers follow the trail east to the Quehanna Wild Area toward Karthaus and Piper,<br />

then north toward Sinnemahoning and finally west through the Marion Brook Natural Area<br />

back to Parker Dam. For those visitors who want to enjoy a shorter hike, there are two blue<br />

blazed cross-connector trails and numerous side trails marked with the blue blazed side<br />

trails adding another 30 miles of trails. These trails allow visitors to plan shorter circuit hikes<br />

and enjoy the scenery off the main trail.<br />

If You Get Lost on the Trail<br />

It is easy to get lost on the trails if you’re not paying attention or you<br />

miss a trail mark. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation<br />

and Natural Resources (DCNR), it’s important to remember the acronym<br />

S.T.O.P. if you get lost.<br />

Z STOP — When you realize you are lost, stop immediately. If you<br />

have a whistle, use it to draw attention to your location.<br />

ZTHINK— Try to remain calm and think about your situation. How<br />

did you get there? What are your options? Think before you take<br />

any action.<br />

Z OBSERVE — Identify what you have with you that may be useful,<br />

and take a look around the area. Are you on the trail? Is it safe to<br />

stay where you are?<br />

Z PLAN —If you have a plan set with your family or the people you<br />

are hiking with, follow through with it if you can. During this time,<br />

you’ll also figure out what you are going to do until you are found.<br />

Delaware Water Gap, <strong>PA</strong><br />

The hike to Mount Minsi is a 4.8 mile loop trail beginning in<br />

Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. Hikers can enter the trail<br />

from the Lake Lenape parking area. The trail is considered<br />

moderate in difficulty since it has some rocky areas and can get<br />

steep going down from the mountain. The hike features several<br />

waterfalls along the trail and features grand views of the Delaware<br />

River. The elevation reaches 1,036 ft. and is popular with hikers and<br />

bird watchers. Dogs are welcome on the trail, but they must be on<br />

Wissahickon Valley Park, Philadelphia<br />

Wissahickon Valley Park is an 1,800-acre gorge where the<br />

Wissahickon Creek passes through and drops more than<br />

100 feet as it passes through to the Schuylkill River. Visitors<br />

looking for an easier trail can take Forbidden Drive, a wide,<br />

flat, gravel trail. More experienced hikers can hike the park’s<br />

upper trails, which follow its rolling terrain and can be steep<br />

and rocky. The creek is stocked with trout, while its meadows<br />

The Forbidden Trail, Wissahickon Valley Park<br />

Pine Grove Furnace State Park, Gardners, <strong>PA</strong><br />

Pine Grove Furnace State Park provides another opportunity<br />

to explore the Appalachian Trail. Surrounded by Michaux State<br />

Forest, the four-mile hike is the half-way point for the A.T. and<br />

features trails that loop around scenic, mountainous overlooks, and<br />

Laurel and Fuller lakes. The most famous trail is the Pole Steeple<br />

Trail, a steep 75-mile trail that ends in a spectacular overlook with<br />

quartzite outcropping overlooking the entire park and surrounding<br />

valleys.<br />

There are many other activities in the park, including swimming<br />

in the two lakes, fishing, historic buildings, a 19th century iron furnace,<br />

the Appalachian Trail Museum, and education programs. Just<br />

south of the park in the Michaux State Forest is a trailhead with<br />

access to ATV trails. Learn more at dcnr.pa.gov.<br />

Be aware that November 15 to December 15 is not the best time to<br />

hike parts of the A.T. It passes through state games lands, which<br />

are managed for hunting. During that time period, hunters and<br />

non-hunters are required to wear at least 250 square inches of<br />

fluorescent orange material on the head, neck and back combined<br />

or a fluorescent orange hat on the A.T. running through state game<br />

lands (the northern 2/3 of the state).<br />

Learn more about the A.T. at its website appalachiantrail.org and<br />

Thousand Steps Trail, Mapleton, <strong>PA</strong><br />

Thousand Steps Trail, Mapleton, <strong>PA</strong><br />

For hikers looking for more of a challenge, the Thousand Steps<br />

Trail is it. The 3.4 mile trail is part of the Standing Stone Trail and<br />

requires a trek up 1,000 stairs to the top of Jacks Mountain and<br />

spectacular views. The steps were originally built so that workers<br />

for Ledge Quarry could get to and from their jobs every day. The<br />

trail is marked every 100 steps to help hikers keep track of how<br />

many steps climbed. Climbers will experience 850 feet of elevation<br />

change over a half mile. At the top, the remnants of a train shed<br />

and stone quarry remain. Stunning views are the reward for the<br />

challenging 1.5 mile climb. Learn more at standingstonetrail.org.<br />

These trails are just a sample of the bountiful beauty of Penn’s<br />

Woods. Make your plans to get outside to enjoy all the gorgeous<br />

views and fantastic hiking trails in Pennsylvania.<br />
