Summary

Join me on a beautiful 5 mile loop hike at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center.  We walk steeply up hill to the ridge top of Kittatinny (also known as Blue Mountain), walk 1.5 miles along the ridge (to just above where the PA turnpike tunnel goes under the mountain), and then return via the Appalachian Trail.  Bring some water and snacks for the hike.  If groups wants, we can go out to lunch following the hike.

Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot

Meet at Lehigh Valley Nature Center parking lot at the Osprey House.  Please see LVNC website for directions (http://lgnc.org/maps-directions#Osprey).

Hi everyone. Looking forward to this weekend. Fortunately, the worst of the rain will be on Friday, though we may get scattered thunderstorms on Saturday, especially in the morning, so please be prepared with raingear and good hiking shoes. Remember to also bring sunscreen, hat, water to drink, and snacks.

I am happy with dogs. I don't see anything on their website (http://lgnc.org/) that gives policies on dogs. I tried calling them (610) 760-8889), but no answer. You can either come and hope there is no policy against dogs, or try calling them again to ask. Hope you both end up coming and are able to bring you dogs.
