Скачать или смотреть SUSQUEHANNOCK TRAIL Unsupported FKT Attempt | 85 miles and 14,000 ft. of Vertical Gain on the STS

This video documents my unsupported FKT (fastest known time) attempt on the 85 mile Susquehannock Trail in North Central Pennsylvania. On November 4, 2020 I set out to beat the supported FKT of just over 27 hours but wanted to do it unsupported with no outside help. With over 14,000 ft of vertical gain I had my work cut out for me. The weather conditions were perfect for my attempt with a bright moon for the night hiking portion. See if I made it! Minutes 12:22-31:12 are the FKT portion of the video.

The Susquehannock Trail System is an 85-mile loop. The STS meanders through the remote and unspoiled woodlands of Pennsylvania's Susquehannock State Forest. The loop extends from the trail's northern gateway atop Denton Hill on US Rt 6 at the PA Bureau of Forestry building to below the Potter-Clinton County border at its southern end. The STS passes within a mile of Lyman Run State Park, near Cherry Springs State Park, thru Ole Bull State Park, thru the village of Cross Fork, near Prouty Place Picnic Area, and thru Patterson State Park Picnic Area. The STS links old Civilian Conservation Corps fire trails, abandoned railroad grades and logging roads.

Located in Pennsylvania's Potter and Clinton counties, the Susquehannock Trail System (STS)
is marked with 2" x 6" orange paint blazes and occasionally an STS emblem. The STS offers the public a glimpse of Pennsylvania's crown jewel.

Part of the STS runs in conjunction with the Donut Hole Trail, and the STS also has a connecting link to the Black Forest Trail. There are also two cross-over trails available to provide hikers with the option of a shorter loop hike.

The most secluded section of the STS is a 10-mile stretch through PA's largest wild area, the Hammersley Wild Area, offering hikers access into part of the most remote and pristine nature Pennsylvania has to offer.
