The Laurel Highlands of western Pennsylvania is where you’ll find Roaring Run Resort. The Allegheny Mountains begin here in the rolling hills and small peaks of the Highlands, making the region a prime area for outdoor activities. Often called southwestern Pennsylvania’s playground, the Laurel Highlands is comprised of hundreds of towns and villages in scenic Westmoreland, Fayette, Cambria, and Somerset Counties. The Laurel Highlands provide thousands of acres of state and county parks and forests. Laurel Ridge State Park is very popular among hikers. Situated along the crest of Laurel Mountain, this 13,500-acre park offers the famous Laurel Highland Hiking Trail, a 70-mile trail that spirals through parks, forests, and game lands in all four counties.
