Clark's Valley - Victoria Trail
This 5-mile, secluded loop has an elevation gain of about 1,400 feet. Located just north of Harrisburg near Dauphin, PA, the trail is rated as moderate with some narrow and rocky areas. The out and back hike is well-maintained but not recommended for children. Its gradual incline zig zags up the mountain. At the top, you’ll find a gate where you can choose to extend your hike and drop down into Joseph Ibberson Conservation Area or explore some of the other hikes and views on top of the mountain.
Some of the trail can be a bit steep for young children or dogs, so make sure your traveling companions have some experience with the challenges of extended inclines. Hikers should plan for a trek time of about 3 hours.
