FRANKLIN COUNTY, Pa., Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fall is fabulous in Franklin County--and so is the Appalachian Trail (AT). Just ask Pennsylvania (PA) First Lady Lori Shapiro. As foliage approached peak in south-central PA, Mrs. Shapiro hiked a ten-mile section of the AT in Franklin County. She began her hike at the Old Forge Picnic Area and exited the trail at Caledonia State Park https://www.explorefranklincountypa.com/day-hike-on-the-at/. This trek is part of her personal goal to hike all 229 miles of the Appalachian Trail that cross the state. She began her journey in June with an eight-mile hike  from the Mason-Dixon Line at the Maryland–Pennsylvania border to the Tumbling Run Shelter in South Mountain.
