We Survived 30 Miles in Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon | West Rim Trail

Backpacking the West Rim Trail in Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon has been on my list for a long time, and in this video my good friend and fellow YouTuber Jeremy78 joined me to finally make it happen. Over three days and two nights we hiked the full 30.5 miles, starting out at Rattlesnake Rock and heading north to Ansonia. It was a trip that tested us with climbs, changing weather, and long miles, but it also gave us some of the most rewarding views and experiences I’ve ever had on trail. The West Rim Trail is considered one of the premier backpacking routes in the state, even named the “Best Hike in Pennsylvania” by Outside magazine. It follows the western edge of Pine Creek Gorge, better known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, where the land drops nearly a thousand feet into the valley below. The trail itself traces old logging railroad grades, a reminder of a time when this entire gorge was stripped bare. Today it’s the exact opposite—a thriving wilderness of hemlock, hardwood forest, streams, waterfalls, and overlooks that make every mile worth the effort. Along the way Jeremy and I battled the elements, cooked around the campfire, filtered water from mountain streams, and soaked in the beauty of the PA Wilds. What started on a crisp April morning turned into one of the most memorable backpacking trips I’ve ever done. This isn’t just a hike, it’s an adventure that captures the history, the challenge, and the beauty of Pennsylvania’s backcountry, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
