The last time we hiked the Paulinskill Valley Trail was almost two years ago. At that time, I
stated in the hike description that with that segment we had hiked the entire 30-mile rail trail except for the 2.5-mile segment south of Plotts Road.
Well, today we returned and we completed the PVT! We hiked that last part, finally completing the entire rail trail. The fall foilage was high today and we were delighted
to discover that there is a new segment of the Great Valley Rail Trail which passes right over Plotts Road! The last time we hiked in this area, the
rail bed on the bridge over Plotts Road was inaccessbile. But today we were able to do it, as you can see in the photo I took from the bridge of our car parked below (third
from the last row).
Total distance covered today was 6.3 miles in 2 hours and 45 minutes. For those keeping track, the following is when we hiked all of the sections of the Paulinskill Valley Trail:
