LHHT Thru Hike ~ Day 4
70 Miles
One Incredible Accomplishment

Mitchell Lohr completed his 70-mile thru-hike of the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail! Woohoo!

We decided to finish our trek a day early with some less-than-favorable weather in the forecast, and I’m so glad we did! Mitchell set a new personal record for the most miles hiked with a full pack! This guy is a swift, strong hiker who continues to impress me. Watching him push beyond his comfort zone, embrace the challenge, and discover what he’s capable of has been such a joy!

We finished our trek in Ohiopyle, tackling the final 8 miles of the LHHT, which are among the hardest on the entire trail. These miles can be a real challenge, and they’re often where I see the most people out enjoying the trail. On Saturday, we crossed paths with 53 people! This is the best local training ground!

I’m incredibly grateful for a successful thru-hike and the opportunity to share this adventure with such a great partner. ❤️ One of my greatest joys through Trail Mama Hikes is showing others the peace, serenity, and sense of accomplishment that come from spending time outdoors.

Mitchell, congratulations on your 70-mile finish! You took on a hard thing and handled it like a champ. This is just the beginning of many more adventures!

LHHT THRU HIKE ~ DAY 3!

Day 3 brought lots of sunshine and magnificent colors! Ed joined Mitchell and me for the first 10 miles, and we made a stop at Highlands Market for an awesome lunch!

After lunch, Mitchell and I continued on, covering several more miles! Mitchell handled it like a champ! Watching him rise to the challenge has been such a joy. He's proving to himself just what he's capable of!

We also enjoyed a little trail luxury near mile marker 26 ~ potable water from the pump! NO FILTERING NEEDED!

3 days complete. We're getting closer to that finish line! One step at a time. Due to the impending weather on day 5, we will likely shorten our trek to 4 days.

Did you know the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail passes through State Game Lands 42 and State Game Lands 111?

If you're hiking on Pennsylvania State Game Lands this fall, be aware of the new 2026 regulations! From October 1 through January 31, ALL State Game Lands users who are not hunting, trapping, or fishing must wear fluorescent orange. You must wear at least 250 square inches of fluorescent orange on your head, chest, and back combined, OR wear a fluorescent orange hat.

A few things to keep in mind: backpacks can block your visibility, so consider adding orange to your pack. If you're hiking with your pup, an orange vest, bandana, or harness is a great idea, too!

We all share these beautiful public lands, and we want everyone to enjoy them safely. Be visible, be aware of your surroundings, and be respectful of other outdoor enthusiasts. Let's look out for one another out there!

LHHT Thru Hike ~ Day 2

Edward C Schultz III joined Mitchell Lohr and I as we covered nearly 20 miles on this day! And what a beautiful day it was! The fall colors were absolutely gorgeous, with the forest exploding in shades of red, orange, and yellow. The weather was magnificent, and we crossed paths with several other hikers along the way ~ including Susan Levy and Alison! There were great conversations, plenty of laughter, and lots of miles spent enjoying the simple goodness!

Mitchell is carrying his load with ease! He's proving to be an eager learner. His willingness to learn, to try new things, and to step out of his comfort zone is something I admire.

We tent camped again tonight, settling in after another full day of adventure.

This is what Trail Mama Hikes is all about ~ challenging ourselves, learning as we go, building confidence, sharing miles, and making memories along the way.

Two days complete. 32 trail miles complete. 38 miles to go! We got this!

LHHT Thru Hike ~ Day 1

What a fantastic first day on the trail with Mitchell Lohr, aka Hot Pocket!

Hot Pocket is an exceptionally fast hiker who has learned so much in such a short time. His willingness to try new things, push beyond his comfort zone, and take on new challenges is just awesome to see!

Day 1 brought us plenty of sunshine, a handful of fellow hikers, and a trail that's in excellent shape. We covered 13 trail miles plus another mile on the connector trail to camp.

The shelters were full, so we had a tent site reserved. The LHHT requires reservations to be made to camp on this trail. (www.reserveamerica.com) We built a fire, enjoyed our dinners, and called it a successful start!

Here's to sunshine, good miles, campfires, and the kind of adventures that remind us what we're capable of when we're willing to try something new!

Mitchell stepped way outside his comfort zone to take on this challenge, and he handled it exceedingly well! He carried everything he needed for the trip. He is a strong, swift backpacker!

Congratulations, Mitchell! You did a hard thing!!! I am so proud of you! It was an honor to share the trail with you!
