About This Trail

Imported description

The train trail goes through strip mines. I quote open fields and tall grasses. The Montour Trail passes under the Route 22 bridge, leading to the Imperial peaks. You can see the trail throughreclaimed and inactive strip mines. The trail along this section is hot if you see the sky. The trail is easier now after it returned to a tree-lined and shaded environment than when it was the other way around. It is true that with the railroad grades, making it hard is a relative term. There can be muddy trail in the aftermath of mine runoff. paraphrase: The trail maintainers don't mind if it doesn't go well
