Moderate, 9.5 mi loop
1,309 ft elevation gain
Hiked 8/26/25 (did this the day before yesterday's post, not after)
Sharing the trail with a section of the Appalachian Trail (as well as bikers), this hike has a moderate hill climb before leveling off for the middle 2/3ds and then descending again. Views east along the cliff faces into the mixed farm and forest below, as well as a boulder field in the upper area.
Looking out from the cliff at The Pinnacle, vultures fly over the farmland under partial clouds.
A small observatory, part of the Lehigh Valley amateur astronomical society, which have an easement you'll hike through near pulpit rock.
A Black Vulture sits on a rock along the cliff edge at the Pinnacle.
