Description: Join us for a winter hike along one of the best sections of the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania! We'll don sturdy shoes, warm clothes, and set out on one of our favorite trails. If the weather cooperates, we'll get spectacular views of Hawk Mountain, the Lehigh Valley, and Blue Rocks. Rocky forest footpaths and abandoned roads follow forested mountain trails and mountain streams to a ridge-top boulder outcrop. Hopefully, we'll get some spectacular scenery!
AT thru-hikers often claim the views at the Pinnacle are the best views in Pennsylvania, but it's no walk in the park. We'll get a great workout with all the climbing on the way up. But, once we're up, we're up, and it's well worth the trip. After the hike, we'll hit one of our favorite local establishments - CJ Hummel's. It's a bar and restaurant with a lot of character, great food, and great specials. We'll need to refuel after the hike without a doubt!
Clothing and Equipment: Sturdy waterproof hiking boots, warm clothes (please dress in layers!), snacks, water bottle. Also, trekking poles are encouraged.
