Seneca Creek Backcountry: Allegheny Mountain-Seneca Creek Loop

Last weekend we backpacked into the Seneca Creek Backcountry. Our group expanded this hike. My parents and their 2 dogs accompanied us on the trip. It was my mom's first backpacking trip ever, so we choose a moderate yet scenic route.

We spent 2 days and 1 night on the Allegheny Mountain-Seneca Creek Loop, described by Mr. Hyker at MidAtlanticHikes.com. It was very cold Saturday night, down into the 30's. Even so, I believe everyone had a good time. My parents are excited about going again sometime soon. We camped near the base of the falls, and on Sunday we hiked out following Seneca creek. Along the way, we ran into a party of approximately a dozen people on horses, but we didn't see too many fearless campers such as ourselves, willing to brave the cold weather. It was great! Overall, we hiked approximately 12.5 miles.
