Cambria County is set to launch its second annual Trailhead Challenge, inviting both residents and visitors to explore the region's extensive hiking trails.

The challenge runs from May 1 to November 2, encompassing 29 trailheads across the Ghost Town Trail, C&I Extension, Path of the Flood Trail, Jim Mayer Riverwalk Trail, and Firefighters Memorial Trail.

Participants are encouraged to visit each trailhead, capturing a photo at the designated identifier. These photos can be submitted via Facebook Messenger to the Cambria County Conservation and Recreation Authority. Each complete submission enters participants into a drawing for a $250 gift card from Vale Wood Farms and Up-N-Running.

An official kickoff event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15, at 10:15 a.m. at the Ghost Town Trail along Prave Street in Ebensburg. The event will feature representatives from the Cambria County Conservation and Recreation Authority, Commissioner Tom Chernisky, local businesses, and CamTran.
