Be prepared for an intense hiking experience as you start the Baker Trail.

The luxurious Nemacolin Woodlands Resort is located a little over an hour away in the heart of 2,000 wooded acres in the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania. This retreat is the perfect place to rest, relax and reconnect.
