Ramping up to 30 miles

I started running back in March and so far I've completed a few trail 5ks and a road 10k. I'm currently doing half marathon training with about 6 weeks left in the program with my big goal to run a trail 30 miler next September. Does that seem attainable?

After completing the half marathon training I'm planning on taking a few weeks rest and then starting a marathon training program.

Depending on how technical the race is and how much elevation it has, you should have no problem finishing after using a marathon training plan with 30-50 miles per week: https://www.scienceofultra.com/resources/mileage-minimums

Yes.
