When you visit Uniontown PA, you should be sure to make time to visit the George C. Marshall Memorial off Main Street at the 5 corners. This Memorial is especially beautiful in the spring and summer months. General George C Marshall was born in Uniontown PA on December 31, 1880. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953 for his Marshall Plan which helped rebuild Europe after World War II.

The Laurel Highlands Trail trail starts at the Youghiogheny River Gorge in Ohiopyle State Park, then follows Laurel Ridge for over 50 miles before descending into the Conemaugh Gorge near Johnstown. The total distance is approximately 70.5 miles. All the trail heads are approximately 90 minutes from Pittsburgh PA. The trails are well maintained. The trail is marked with yellow blazes every hundred feet, has wooden foot bridges over substantial stream crossings, you will find small concrete mileposts alongside the trail which are helpful when you are keeping track of distance on out-and-back hikes. For backpacker, camps are spaced six to twelve miles apart, and has adirondack-style shelters with fireplaces, pit toilets, water access, and a space for tents. Connector trails to camps and trailheads are marked with blue blazes. For more information about the Laurel Highlands Hiking trail visit the DCNR website.
