Disclaimer: The club and its members take no responsibility and will not be held responsible for any injuries or accidents that may occur during club events. Outdoor sports are inherently dangerous and accidents will happen. By joining the club or participating in any events posted on the GayOutdoors web page you are taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being. Anyone with an internet connection can post a trip on the GayOutdoors web site. It is your responsibility to determine if this person has the experience and competence to lead the trip.

Be Prepared: Please be prepared to be self-sufficient. Have your own provisions such as first aid kit, food, water, extra clothing for unplanned weather, etc. Have your EMERGENCY CONTACT SHEET completed and in your backpack; it may save your life, and help reach someone who greatly cares!

Pace: There may be activities when the group is either slower or faster than your current ability. Please know that because this is a group activity, it's hard to accommodate everyone's pace perfectly. Our desire is not to leave anyone, however there have been times when it is in the best interest of all to split up. Please do your part by knowing your own abilities, communicating with the organizer head of time if you would like to start early and have us catch up or fine with finishing on your own.

Summary

Join me on this intermediate hike along the Kittatinny Ridge (above the Lehigh Tunnel). We will hike 5 miles and 1000 feet elevation gain on this loop hike that includes part of the Appalachian Trail. Along the ridge top we will have beautiful views of the Lehigh River below. Depart 11 am from the Osprey House at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center. Please make sure to pack your lunch and water. Directions from various locations at http://lgnc.org/how-to-get-here/.

I co-listed this trip with the NYC-based group BLAZE, and there are already 9 people signed up from there. Hope some GO people decide to come along - it is a good hike. Ben
