Located near the Pine Creek Rail Trail and Ansonia, the Southern Terminus of the West Rim Trail offers a straightforward entry point into one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic long-distance hikes. There’s space for roadside parking near the trailhead on Colton Road, making it a practical spot to kick off your thru-hike. From here, the trail quickly immerses you in quiet hardwood forest before climbing toward some of the trail’s best overlooks. Make sure to fill up on water early—sources are limited in this section.
