The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail can be enjoyed as a thru-hike or in segments and offers navigable terrain suitable for new to experienced outdoor enthusiasts. The LHHT offers visitors densely wooded forests, scenic overlooks, and an abundance of camping shelters for a night under the stars. Keep in mind, any overnight stay on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail requires a reservation.
