Loops mostly on gravel and dirt through Ohiopyle State Park and neighboring gamelands. Some big climbs.

I’m surprised this is on here. Unless something changed very recently, this is gated and the property owners prefer you don’t go past there no trespassing signs

Starting at the GAP trail, climb Ram Cat to Fire Tower, then turn right and climb Fire Tower to its highest point. That rises 1300 feet in 3 miles.
