Just wondering if anyone knows of a decent place to do a 2-3 day hike around the philly area. I love heading to north central PA but it is just to far sometimes. Thanks for the help

Sure will keep that in mind. Thanks for the offer!
Quick fix is the trails in and around Valley Green
Head for the Delaware Gap
