Michaux State Forest

👍👍 Had a peaceful hike on the Thaddeus Stevens trail. So beautiful. I literally only saw one piece of litter on the whole trail. I logged almost 7,000 steps on the "challenging" route that took is about 1 1/2hrs. The only sad part was no place to look out at the view at the top of the mountain.
