Backpacking the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) | Part 1 Miles 70 to 57
Brent, Jonnie, and I set out in July of 2021 to backpack the entire 70 mile thru hike of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) from Seward to Ohiopyle.
In Part 1 of our journey on the LAurel Highlands hiking trail, we travel from the northern terminus at mile marker 70 to the Route 271 Shelters just past mile marker 57. Our mid-day stop was at the Route 56 shelters for a snack and to have a look around. I show the water source, the shelters, and the bathrooms.

The 70-mile hiking trail stretches along Laurel Mountain from the picturesque Youghiogheny River at Ohiopyle State Park to the Conemaugh Gorge near Johnstown.
Seasoned backpackers challenge themselves on the steep, rugged areas of the trails. Casual hikers enjoy areas that are reasonably level and pleasant for walking.
The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is the main feature of Laurel Ridge State Park. It traverses state parks, state forests, state game lands, other public lands, and private lands.
The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is a major segment of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, a network of trails between the mouth of the Potomac River and the Allegheny Highlands.
