MO: Old Loggers Path (27 mi)


Details
It's been a while since I've done Old Logger's Path, and I'm also looking for an excuse to visit Bullfrog Brewery. So let's do this. Old Loggers Path is a lovely 27-mile loop that winds through the northwestern corner of Loyalsock State Forest, delivering stream and valley views.
It's a long drive for a short (by DC UL standards) trail, but it is one that is well worth exploring.
The plan: Saturday a.m., we'll meet at Grosvenor and make our way north. The route looks a bit like this ( https://goo.gl/maps/d4oF2oKGuB3JrXKJ6). Anticipate splits of 7/15/5 (ish). We'll start at the beginning of the loop in Masten and then most likely camp along Rock Run. Sunday, we'll make our way along the trail and to the fabulous shelter at Sprout Point Vista as our destination for Sunday night (note this is a dry site).
Monday, we'll make our way back to the cars and start the drive south. Keep your fingers crossed that Bullfrog Brewery will be open for a celebratory post-hike meal--if not, we'll look for an option in the Selinsgrove area or stop in Harrisburg.
Note that on Saturday, I would love to try to get an earlier start if possible, so we'll see if that works out with Metro timing.
