Begin at the Allegheny Trailhead, where a small parking area is
provided. Head south on the Allegheny Trail, which is partially an old
fire road and partially singletrack, for about 3 miles. You will leave
Seneca, enter the Boy Scout reservation and cross under a dirt road, turn
right. This is the Big Mountain Road, or Kronmiller Road (turning left
here will take you to Dilley's Mill on Rt. 28). Follow this road for about
2 miles to Seneca's Cabin road, where you turn right to return to your
vehicle, a total distance of approximately 6 miles.

Most of this route is
closed to vehicle traffic and there are some nice vistas at the powerline
and on the Big Mountain Road. The grade is moderate and the surface ranges
from beginner to expert.
