Laurel Mountain Ski Area is rated as one of the finest slopes in western Pennsylvania. The ski area offers snowmaking equipment, which is used on the full length of two slopes whenever local weather conditions warrant. Laurel Mountain Ski Area is comprised of 460 acres in Westmoreland County. To reach the park go 8 miles each of Ligonier or 5 miles west of Jennerstown on U.S. Route 30, then turn south on an unnumbered road and travel for 4 miles. Take your time.
Nature tells a story of successes, difficulties and togetherness.
The trail is recommended for intermediate hikers. A gentle grade with rough footing exists. Changing scenery and an intimate view of the mountains will reward the hiker. Excellent examples of frost cracks, forest wedging and slippage of Pocono Mountain Sandstone exist along the trail and at Wolf Rocks. Please be careful near the vista.
