Wolf Rocks is a 2,639-foot-high massive sandstone outcropping on the edge of the popular Laurel Ridge summit. The trailhead for Wolf Rocks is in Laurel Summit State Park and from there it is an easy, pleasant 1.5-mile loop hike to Wolf Rocks. The area, just like the rest of the 70-mile-long ridge of Laurel Mountain, is densely forested and covered in fragrant mountain laurel. There are only a few overlooks in the Laurel Highlands that offer unobstructed views of the valley far below and Wolf Rock is one of them. Hikers can also enjoy watching hawks floating on the updrafts off the windy ridge, almost at eye level.
