Tracy Ridge Hiking Trail

The premier high-plateau wilderness loop system.

The Tracy Ridge Hiking Trail is the primary artery of the 9,000-acre Tracy Ridge Wilderness Area, the largest roadless tract in the Allegheny National Forest. The trail system consists of over 30 miles of interconnected loops that traverse high-elevation plateaus and descend through deep, rocky ravines to the edges of the Allegheny Reservoir. It offers the premier "wilderness" experience for hikers in the region, characterized by absolute silence, diverse wildlife, and a complete lack of motorized intrusion.
