HIGHLIGHTS:  This is a long section of the Appalachian Trail that covers over 200 miles in central and northeastern Pennsylvania. From Caledonia State Park, the Trail climbs a ridge and passes a series of shelters and the Milesburn PATC cabin. At the Iron Master's Mansion Youth Hostel, the A.T. enters Pine Grove Furnace State Park where a historic furnace was used to smelt iron during the Revolutionary War. The park has campsites, picnic tables, a camp store and a public telephone on the premises. A marker north of the park marks the midway point between Georgia and Maine. (Although the true point varies from year to year due to trail reroutes, maintenance, etc.)
