The final push! Day 4 of our 60-mile Loyalsock Trail thru-hike takes us from mile 42 to the finish line. We climb out from camp before dawn, stop at Canyon Vista, pass through Worlds End State Park, and cruise past Sones Pond before descending to Iron Bridge and tackling the last climb to the trailhead. Four days of rugged terrain, sweeping views, problem-solving (sit pad insoles!), and unforgettable moments come together in this finale. Tired legs, sore feet—but a complete end-to-end hike.
