Tanbark Trail, Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania

This is from a hike in January on Tanbark Trail, heading west from what is marked on Google maps as '3004' and 'Rte 337 Rd." There is a parking area beside the road, just before the intersection with Hearts Content Road. The trail in this direction ends on route 62, beside the Allegheny River, but I haven't been able to locate it among the houses there.  The trail also heads east from the parking area, all the way to Hearts Content Recreation Area and the trail system there.  This would be a great trail to backpack, and is also one of the few trails open to bicycles in Allegheny National Forest.
