Description

Tussey Mountain Trail is one of the best and well-known trails in Rothrock. It offers great views and great ridge hiking. A must-do trail.

You can hike it as an out-and-back starting from Bear Meadows road. Hike past the beer tap and it loops back to the tap. Or you can continue down The Tussey extension for more singletrack.
