My pleasure. The weather was great out there for this trip. Thanks!

Thanks!

You are right! The trail club does a fantastic job of maintenance, shelters and markers. Did the STS in July during the drought. Really had to camel up every chance you got because many sources were bone dry. Got my certificate and thru-hike # and they invited me to a banquet in October. Great people in that area. Saw only 2 other hikers the whole time. Great adventure! Thanks for the video!M

[@Hiking.Inspired]

I remember in April you were debating on which trail to do this summer. Awesome you got to do the STS and congrats on your certificate for completion! Yeah it sure was a dry summer! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!

[@rickbeidleman1928]

@@Hiking.Inspired correct! After your description of Donut Hole opted for STS. Heard a story at the Susquehannock Lodge where I stayed the night before that a guy stayed there, did the loop in February, went back the lodge turned around and did it in reverse. Crazy! Lots of cool pics and stories at the lodge.

Dude....when you were in Hammersley if you had hiked about 1000 feet further south you would've hit the most perfect site! I hit it all the time. Great hammock spot as well as an awesome tent site. The pool is good too though. Great video. Makes me homesick for the STS.

[@Hiking.Inspired]

I seem to always find the better spot the next morning haha! Luckily the STS has a good amount of decent campsites. The Hammersley area is a beautiful place! Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@jeffriegner9564]

I tent camped at Hammersley Pool almost 40 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Thanks for bringing us along for your trip!

[@Hiking.Inspired]

I didn’t plan on stopping there for the night but I’m glad it worked out that way! Nice couple of spots for multiple tents there! Glad I could take you back. Thanks!

[@HiddenHollowOutoors]

Great to see another well done trip vid!

[@Hiking.Inspired]

Thanks!✌️

[@tracygolder598]

I’m about ready to head out on this trip in a few days. I definitely will be asking for an updated map. Thanks for the tip. I thoroughly enjoy your videos!

[@Hiking.Inspired]

I remember the park staff being very welcome and friendly at the office, they’ll take care of you well. The trail is marked great and I’d say it might be the most pleasant trail in the area. Have a great time out there! Thanks for liking the video☺️

[@thecypresslegends5423]

Very cool, I’m planning to do a video on the STS in February so this was helpful.

[@Hiking.Inspired]

Thanks! I’ll be looking forward to checking out your winter adventure on the STS. Have fun out there!

Greetings from Southern Appalachia in Alabama. Enjoyed the video. Nice editing. Charming trail…. Going to subscribe! JBEN⚡️HIKES

[@Hiking.Inspired]

Thanks a lot! Gonna subscribe back!

@@Hiking.Inspired thanks !

[@donmatulevich9411]

Watched this video a few times already this year. Great video to get a feel for the STS before I start my own thru hike. I can’t wait! Oh and you really need to try and get out of Pa. That’s my home state and I do most of its trails each year, but some places are worth the 6-8 hour drive (Smokies, Whites,…) for a very different experience!

[@Hiking.Inspired]

I agree. Thanks for the continued support and best wishes on the STS!

[@olddudeonthetrail72]

I had no idea there were so many shelters on the STS. That's pretty cool. I'll bet listening to a Stephen King book is better than reading one. I've read a few of his and sometimes I get bogged down in his dialogue, as there tends to be a lot. Really enjoyed the video, Jeremy. So well produced, brilliantly edited, great music choices. You do such a great job on these and should have so many more subscribers. But... the world is a cruel place, haha. At any rate, thanks for sharing these adventures with us.

[@Hiking.Inspired]

Maybe if I made a video of “Things I wish I knew before I started backpacking” or “Top 5 sleeping pads of 2022” I’d get more followers. Not for me though. I make these for the creative outlet and to remember them. It’s a bonus some people out there enjoy and make use of them. Thank you so much for the support! That motivates me to make more though☺️ I’ve been enjoying your channel watching you advance are well. Keep it up!

[@olddudeonthetrail72]

Well, thank you! Yeah, you gotta be true to yourself in your content.

[@BlackcatOutdoors]

Great video of the sts. It's on my list someday to do the whole thing. I'm a new sub and checking out your other videos too. Really surprised you don't have more subscribers. Keep it up man, looking forward to more.

[@Hiking.Inspired]

Thank you so much! Although I don’t do much winter camping I have a lot more planned for next year! Thanks for the sub!

[@fivehorizons5295]

Great trip! Those stars must have been so magical! I did the STS way back in 2012. I don’t recall any shelters. That’s awesome they built some for the trail. I enjoyed watching! I remember spook hollow going up cardiac climb and the dynamite shelter! Are you gonna do some trips outside PA? Catskills? Dolly Sods? Thanks again for a fun, enjoyable video!

[@Hiking.Inspired]

Thanks! They do a great job keeping that trail inviting and in good shape. Yes I do plan on heading up to the New York area. My understanding is you need a bear canister for a lot of the high peak wilderness stuff. Dolly Sods is a little bit of a haul for me but there are some nice long trails down that way to make it worth the trip!

[@JBieseroutdoors]

Another great video, looks like you had a great trip! Im also trying to venture out of the weekend end warrior stage and do some longer trips next year. Was thinking the STS or Quehanna this spring. In your opinion which direction do you think this trail would be better to travel “elevation profile” ?? I personally do not like long descents due to some frequent IT band issues! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!🙂

[@Hiking.Inspired]

I think CCW has more accents. I remember coming down into Ole Bull Star Park was rough and the downhill on Cardiac Climb was another. It’s hard to avoid them all when hiking such a lengthy trail though. Toughest part of Quehanna trail I’d say is coiming out of or down into Mosquitoe Creek. It’s a much more forgiving trail and just as beautiful. Either trail would be a great adventure!

[@stoicodysseys6352]

I did this with Dan. Great trail. If you want to do some trails together let me know. Are you up for section hiking the Appalachian trail?

[@Hiking.Inspired]

Maybe we can plan something for next year!

[@stoicodysseys6352]

@@Hiking.Inspired Right on. I do some winter trips too if you get cabin fever at all. Otherwise we can wait for the warmer weather. I am glad you had fun on the STS. I just started reading Fairytale like a week ago.

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Hi Jeremy I enjoyed your video. I have been looking at this trail and may try it for a 100 miler. I live in NJ. Is there anywhere to resupply and recharge battery pack along the way? May do the trail in April or May. Thanks

[@Hiking.Inspired]

The trail goes through the small town of Crossfork. It has a general store, bar/grill, post office, and lodging. If you start at mile 0 at Denton Hill State park off route 6, Crossfork will be at mile 49. Hope you get to get out there! Thanks for the sub!

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

@@Hiking.Inspired thanks for the input. Last year Outdoor Vitals had a 100 Mile Challenge and I took part and completed the Batona Trail located in the Pine Barrens of NJ, I did a NOBO/SOBO. It was part of a goal I had to do at least 80 miles the year I was 80 years old. They are having the challenge again this year so I am looking for another area with a little more challenge, but not overly hard. I would appreciate any input.

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

@@Hiking.Inspired one more thing what is the best map for the area and is All Trials the best app? Thanks

[@Hiking.Inspired]

@@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker That’s inspiring! Congratulations on that accomplishment!

[@Hiking.Inspired]

@@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker The newest map they have at the park office was the best I came by so far. If you contact the Denton Hill State Forest I’m sure they will send you one. You can always pick one up when you get there too. Alltrails worked just fine for me on that trail. I haven’t tried any other apps recently enough to say another is better. The trail has so much love put into it and is marked so well that you’ll find you won’t be checking your maps and gps much!
