John P. Saylor Trail

The John P. Saylor Trail is a 17.5-mile (28.2 km) hiking trail system in southwestern Pennsylvania, consisting of two loops with a short cross-connector trail, through Gallitzin State Forest in Somerset County. The trail is named after Congressman John P. Saylor, who sponsored the National Scenic Tr

ails Act while supporting national wilderness preservation. The main loop, which can be reached from the trailhead, is 12.0 miles around. The south loop, which cannot be reached directly by car, can be combined with the main loop and the short cross-connector, for a "figure-8" hike of 17.5 miles.
