What we’re about
Adventurers looking for trail buddies, unite! Trail Buddies was founded in 2018 and is a community of outdoor enthusiasts looking to enjoy the trails with other like-minded individuals. Our events appeal to thru-hikers, day-hikers and cyclists and we’re always eager to meet new folks, learn of new adventures and hear those campfire stories. If you’re searching for a fun and active outdoor group, look no further.
Adventure, fun, passion, motivation, perseverance, and community is what we’re all about. We believe the outdoors is therapeutic for the mind, body and soul, and everyone should have an opportunity to benefit from it, so we host a variety of events from beginner to advanced that range from just a few hours to multiple nights in an effort to offer something for everyone. Some of our trips will be family and pet friendly while others will be geared towards pushing our limits for grander, future adventures like the AT, CDT, PCT, and NCT.
With multiple organizers, we’re posting more events than ever, and continuing to increase our time outside. As we set our sights on this year and beyond, we’re excited about all the new adventures out there waiting for us.
Check out our new campsite, and review our membership agreement and camp rules.

We look forward to meeting you on the trail.

Hiking - McConnell's Mill (Experienced) - 16 Miles
McConnell's Mill - Alpha Pass Trailhead, XR5J+793 Lake Arthur Estates, Pennsylvania, Portersville, PA, USThis event will be an out and back hike to Hell's Hollow with a distance of roughly 16 miles. We'll rendezvous at Point Parking Area and begin the hike on the Alpha Pass Trail. We'll proceed to the Kildoo Trail until we reach Eckert Bridge, which will take us across Slippery Rock Creek. We'll then continue onto the Slippery Rock Gorge Trail and up to Hell's Hollow.
It's recommended that one wear sturdy hiking boots or trail-running shoes -- these trails have an exceptional amount of rocks. Another recommendation would be a day pack with a lunch or high-calorie snacks with plenty of water and/or electrolytes. Trekking poles and a headlamp may also be a good idea. Monitor the weather and be prepared for whatever Mother Nature may throw at us; we'll hike rain or shine.
This will be moderately difficult due to the terrain and reasonably brisk pace that we'll be moving (~2.5 mph). If this sounds like your type of hike, we look forward to seeing you there!
