Trail Rating - INTERMEDIATE

This loop starts at the Lower Youghiogheny River Takeout. You will take the Sugar Run Trail down the hill to Jonathan Run trail which crosses over a bridge over Jonathan Run to connect to the Kentuck Trail. The first set of falls is not far past the bridge, you have to take an unmarked trail down to these falls. This is the upper Jonathan Run falls

The second set of falls (Lower Jonathan Run Falls) is not much further than the first falls maybe a tenth to a quarter of a mile further. This is also on an unmarked trail to get down. The decent to the second falls is very tricky and on a steep incline with not too much footing. There is a rope to get down to the bottom navigating down big drops and rocks.

The hike will continue down the Kentuck Trail to the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) where you will follow that to Mitchell Trail. The Mitchell Trail is a steep climb back to the top along Sugar Run. On this ascent, you will reach Sugar Run Falls about a tenth of a mile up the hill. There is a small cutoff on the Mitchell Trail to get to the bottom of Sugar Run Falls.

The hike back up to the top is a steep climb to about 1550ft where it starts to become more gradual as you reach the top to head back to the parking area.
