LAUREL HIGHLANDS, Pennsylvania — Andrea Rodi began Saturday morning with her boyfriend enjoying a mini-vacation in Stoystown; it was the final day of their weekend getaway spent traversing the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail.

“We rented a cute little cabin near the Route 30 entrance to the trail and brought our snowshoes and cross-country skis and all of that, just to get outside and get away,” she said of the popular trail located four hours from her Chester County home.
