    Thanks for the video! Brought back good memories of my first visit in 2005. Trail has not changed though there are now more campsites than then. In recent years I have participated in the AFT race, running the 14 mile distance. Really good trail race. Thanks again for the video. High quality- you deserve more subs.

    Nice to meet Zane. Porcupine nesting trees usually look that way at the base. Great looking trail, to bad about the dead stream. Tell Dave he works to much, HA HA. Thanks for the great video.

      Yup, definitely porcupine crap around that tree. When I first started hiking this area 15 years ago, there was so much more (and fresher), especially around Wolf Rocks. I think the fisher population has increased and cut down on the porcupines since then though.

      Thanks for the confirmation. Yeah I've spent a lot of time in the woods but hadn't ever run across a porcupine nesting tree.

      I definitely recommend it! Great for an extended weekend trip and since it's a loop you only need one car.

    Great Video. Thank you for the tour of AFT. We did OLP based on one of your other trail videos and loved it. I'm putting this one on the list based on this video. Thank you!

    Looked like a great trip! If you can, you have to get up to that area in mid October (leave changing peak). I did this trail last year at that time and it was breath taking with color.

    Caleb, I've found that while planning my trip the Purple Lizard map of Moshannan, which includes the AFT, is much more detailed and includes vistas and campsites.

    • @vistaventures1343
      @vistaventures1343  4 года назад

      I've heard good things about the Purple Lizard maps but have no experience with them myself. I generally just pair up the DCNR maps with Jeff Mitchell's Backpacking Pennsylvania 37 Great Hikes for my PA trip planning.

    Is this trail some people call Black Forest Trail?

    • @vistaventures1343
      @vistaventures1343  4 года назад +1

      Hello Daniel. The Black Forest Trail is a 42 mile loop farther north in Pennsylvania. I'll include a link to our video of it below. It is very rugged but also extremely beautiful. We highly recommend it!
