Crabapple Trail

Generally considered a challenging climb for the area, Crabapple pales in comparison to the younger, more intense mountain trails I’d climbed in Peru and Hawai’i but that’s because The Alleghenies are old. Like over 300 million years old. Old mountains like to roll and slope, they fold and overlap in gentle hills softened by hundreds of millions of years of erosion. They rise and fall like waves.
