Added photos from Racoon Creek State Park (30-miles west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), which I spent an afternoon hiking in during Thanksgiving week.

There are over 44 miles of rugged and hilly trails in Racoon Creek State Park. I myself have logged 65 miles over the last two weeks, hiking a different trail every time. These are some of the oldest and best trails you'll find in western PA. The habitats these trails enter are pristine and teeming with rarely seen life. You should have downloaded a map (they're free).
May I recommend the western end of heritage trail. Hard to get to, but the scenery is tremendous.
Thanks, Jeff. Clearly, I should I have researched the trails before heading over there one day in 2001 while I was visiting southwestern PA! Good to see there are plenty of hiking trails over there.
