Starting from Red Box Picnic area, runners follow Strawberry Peak trail out to the summit of the mountain. After gaining the summit, continue west along the ridge to some Class III scrambling down. Stay high on the northwest ridge to avoid getting lost on the steep southwest face. After descending the scramble, follow the ridge as it arcs southwest to the Josephine Saddle. The route is clear the entire way despite the growth of brush along the ridge! After meeting up with Colby Canyon Trail, ascend the fire road to Josephine Peak.

Start at the West Creek Wetland Learning Center in St Marys, PA. (Google maps snap shot with coordinates included). Run 19.5mi to the other end in Emporium, PA. The first .5mi is less maintained but very runnable. There are more large puddles and overhanging vegetation, but it's not a bad trail by any means. You'll then pass the "official" trailhead. From here on out, the trail is wide open, flat and well groomed. You'll follow West Creek downhill to the eastern terminus in Emporium. Run all the way to the stop sign, just past the kiosk, where the trail meets East 2nd Street.
