          October 04, 2023 3 min read

          Follow along with us on a gentle, but remote 10-mile hike through prime elk habitat in Central PA.

This is the largest Wild Area in Pennsylvania, and is home to all of the best wildlife that PA has to offer: bear, deer, elk, bobcat, coyote, rattlesnakes, fishers and more.
