Cheat Canyon Notice: Allegheny Wood Products (AWP) has temporarily closed the Allegheny Trail through Cheat Canyon for road construction. For instructions on the current route from Mt. Nebo to Muddy Run, please see the new instructions, which should be considered as an addendum to the hiking guide.

Future Re-route Notice: The Army National Guard is enlarging its practice firing range and will close the abandoned county road that the ALT currently uses. National Guard personnel are working with ALT maintainers to establish an alternate route. A re-route is expected before the end of the 2010 summer hiking season.

Trail Warning: As of November 2009, the tread at the southern ascent/descent of Shavers Mountain is still very difficult (Guidebook map caption: Section 2 N/S Map 14 Milepoints 63.34-66.09).  Watch for loose scree and narrow tread, especially near the top of the ridge.
