My Mom walked several sections of the trail, when she was in her '70's-she wanted to walk the whole trail, but her time here ran out-thanks, Cliff!

The water reflects the sky & clouds so beautiful. Great video thank you Cliff. Stay well & be safe. 🙂👍🌻

[@janecharlton6780]

Was so nice to walk through an American town , I love all the stars and stripes flags . My dog would of barked at you too .

[@StantonsJourneys]

Definitely not you typical trail but worth it towards the end. Thank you for sharing.

[@edithdavis2848]

Beautiful video, loved the river shots. Small Town USA, can be lovely. Thank you for making the hike, awesome stone steps, so glad you have young legs and can share your hikes with us. Thank you Cliff Stay safe and take care.

[@ruthcrist5983]

That quit a rocky climb but beautiful Cliff

[@ericcomp7032]

Just open the back door in PA. Adventures await.

[@wsmith4020]

Pretty much true.

[@patcheslove5139]

Both the rivers are so pretty , and that was a nice little walk . Thank you for taking us along .

[@ingeborgm6147]

Many years ago all life and business was connected to the river and the people in this town all owed their livelyhood to it and lived along its shores. There was no.point building farther inland.

Ingeborg M Yeah - used to be "the highway" before there were highways. I live near the James, and I see it as the Aorta of Virginia.

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Great video . Such traffic! Imagine walking on cement is not easy on the knees. I love when you do camping and you're your canoe. .

[@JamesScott-lc8md]

Thanks for the tour and the use of your legs to get us there. Stay safe

[@toddbernhard6139]

Very cool town! I limped into Duncannon back in 2017 and stayed at the church for 4 days while I recovered. The Doyle is a legendary AT hotel, stop in for a beer and burger next time...the trail is about the people that live in all these wonderful small towns just as much as it is the views. Thanks for the video!

[@robertvirtue8070]

I been across the 322 bridge hundred of times, the pass 70 years. The old bridge was a toll bridge . You stopped on the Clark Ferry side at a toll booth and payed 5 cants .

[@veteransfortrump8916]

Was in a Parade on the 4th of July back in the 90's when I was with the 28th I.D. Would a great town of American Patriots . Never paid for a beer the 2 days I was there. Small Town America makes this Nation Great. Roll on 28th, Men of Iron. "General Pershing" Miss you Sgt. Phil Shambaugh. RIP

Hi Cliff, what a beautiful picturesque part of the Susquehanna river, simply gorgeous, The town of Duncannon was really nice, it had some nice looking houses. Congrats on completing another section of the Appalachian trail, thank you for sharing, much love. xx🤘💖

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

love this great scenery of the area you was in Thankyou

[@Redgonetogray]

I live on the AT. My house is in a small town in Massachusetts. Dalton. We see hikers all the time traveling through.

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

You forgot the Doyle Hotel! Iconic must-stay red brick hotel built by Adolphus Busch in 1770. All thruers stay there even though it is always hot by the time they reach it and there is no AC. Don't worry. I saw a thru-hiking blog from Roan Mountain, Tenn. to Damascus, Va. last night and they skipped Laurel Fork Falls! Alas.

[@nobillclinton]

PA is a pretty rocky place. . .beauteous.

[@tebelshaw9486]

Several books I read by AT hikers said PA was hardest on their feet due to the rocks.

[@chrisiiams4303]

Thank you for sharing your great adventure

[@susanorr7535]

I enjoy seeing down town and neighborhoods, with old houses. Beautiful trees, woods and trail.

[@EdKrisiak]

Well done :)

[@Aquabob1]

I love seeing the videos that are so close to home...😊 Those steps were put in by Appalachian Trail Club volunteers....✌️

[@Aquabob1]

Another noteworthy fact.....A few miles farther from where Cliff stopped is a shelter dedicated to Geoff Hood and Molly Larue, 2 young thru hikers that were innocently slain at that shelter in 1990....😥😥

[@brendakrieger7000]

Fun! Beautiful town!

[@deadmetal8692]

Can't wait for you to experience the majestic beauty of the Loyalsock Valley along that stretch of the AT. Happy hiking my man!

[@michellep9999]

The AT is wild. Wow! Those cool rock steps!

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

My day hike of the AT sure makes me hungry for more....LOTS more! Such a magical place, but you really have some good hard work ahead of you when you choose to hike it. Thanks for letting me tag along! 😊

[@aevalk8369]

Very interesting, the small town was a nice addition. Love the bridge views, definitely worth the traffic noises. Although with the missing blazes can't help but wonder how many people, sitting on their porches in the evening, have a conversation such as "Who's that? Oh no...there's another stray hiker wandering around, better get some water and biscuit for the poor thing. We need a human version of the ASPCA for all these strays. Hope this one has an ID, last one was so tired and hungry all he could do was babble. We're not putting up another cot in the garage until find out who he belongs to...and somebody better stop those kids from removing the blazes." That was one rocky trail in the beginning, almost need to be a mountain goat to walk it. Thankfully someone made the steps or there could be a lot of inexperienced people hauled out with injuries since that's a popular area.

Beautiful reflection of the sky with the clouds.

[@timothysmith9462]

You should go to the pennsylvania grand canyon. It's beautiful right now!!!

[@betsybarnicle8016]

About 10 years ago I played fiddle at the Duncannon Appalchian Trail anniversary festival. Pretty little park along the Trail with a small, old stone bridge over a creek. I have some of those Honey Stinger Waffles. Yummy.

[@michellebehr7669]

I agree it's nicer to go on a walk when there aren't as many people. I usually bring my little dog. He's cute but doesn't like people to fawn over him. It aggravates his sense of purpose to be waylaid with baby talk and compliments about his wavy locks. Plus, everyone thinks he's a girl which must offend his dignity. He sees himself as a leader with a purpose as he dutifully leaves frequent reminders on the side of the trail to let other canines know "he came, saw and conquered". P.S. I dispose of the solid contributions!

[@martyjones9374]

Thanks for taking us through the busy section, know you are more comfortable in the quiet. Great views!! Small town was really neat, loved the bear. That was a steep climb & really great having the rock steps. Hope ya got some rest after this one Cliff. Appreciate all you do!!!! Yes those peanut butter snickers are yummy would of picked that first also!!!🥰

[@glennjudd2467]

Great video, cliff ! Nice town ! be a great place to live ! Everyone knows everybody !!!!

Nice little town. Wow your gas is about 50 cents a gallon more than ours. Thanks for sharing.

[@chelseydeetta2847]

THIS WAS GREAT. COULDN'T BELIEVE A MOUNTIAN WOULD BE WALKING DISTANCE FROM A RRESIDENTIAL SETTING, VERY INTERESTIN. YOU HAVE SO MUCH BEAUTY IN PA IT IS MINE BLOWING, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STATE.

[@karenpacker8862]

Enjoy seeing different parts of this trail. Really interesting how it takes through a town and the bridges with traffic!

[@bassheadsofvanwert1007]

I really never knew about the markings on those poles until you said something about them Cliff. I heard and seen people doing them but i just never seen ones like that, thats one interesting walk there

[@lindamccaughey6669]

That was just lovely thanks. Loved reflection of the clouds in the water just gorgeous. My home has a small Main Street like that one thought for a second I was home. Enjoyed the hiking to. I was wondering if it is easier with the steps or better just a track. Thanks so much for taking me along Cliff that was awesome, please stay safe

[@OutdoorAdventureswithShawn]

the AT , now that is a dream of mine - always has been, but i will have to experience it through others. Thanks !

[@samanthab1923]

Love the views from the river. Cool arch bridge. Just realized it's the 30 year anniversary of the Unsolved murders of the AP hikers. Feel like you did a video on it a while back. Sad 😭

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

I did almost two years ago.

[@samanthab1923]

The Wandering Woodsman Thanks 🙏🏻

[@checker2194]

Howdy WW, just wanted to give you a tip.... if you dont already do so...... download the free Avenza App from google play store into a cellphone, then you can download the Pennsylvania Atlas & Gazeteer for 19.99 and run it with the Avenza App. Its a very nice map system.

[@MUFFLERDELETE101]

It's pretty neat up on hawk rock..

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

I have been there..

[@MUFFLERDELETE101]

@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 there ain't to many trails that you haven't been on in pa...have you ever been to Indian look out??in center county?..

[@ronniecardy]

Something I never knew about marking things to help you keep on trails. Wonder if that's in all states?

[@darlenegood4101]

looks a lot more than 3 miles....

[@joshlewis4574]

do they still have the motel for hikers to stay at in Duncannon?

[@Aquabob1]

Yes...!

[@derrickrosario4327]

when you begin there at the railroad tracks, did you come down off that mountain and if you did how steep is it?

[@lynnlopez3274]

This one has my stomach lurching too much. At 4:24 was that a hat upper right?

[@christopherfegley421]

YOu didn't stop at the Doyle one of the most famous historic hotels for hikers on the AT

[@R.C.1161]

Most of the hikers these days use the Guthook app for the AT.

[@walterlangston4253]
