Hiking | 6.0 miles (22 miles away)
This is the hike I took this weekend. I started the hike from the Blue Rocks Family Campground. We camp at the Blue rocks family campground a few times a year. This track begins and ends in the campgrounds. The views from Pulpit Rock and Pinnacle Point are awesome. The trail between Pulpit Rock and Pinnacle Point is part of the Appalachian trail. The round trip with a...

Hiking | 3.6 miles (32 miles away)
Hiking | 3.6 miles (32 miles away)
A beautiful morning hike on Father's Day in complete solitude. After leaving the house at 5am while everyone slept, I headed for the Gap to ascend Mt. Tammany on a Hazy, Hot and humid morning. Taking the Red Trail to the Blue Trail and back along Dunnfield Creek to the Parking Lot offers an awesome vista of the gap during the aggressive ascent up Mt. Tammany. While a bit humid,...

Hiking | 3.9 miles (7.3 miles away)
Start from new PA Game Commission Fire Post parking lot. This is the SW section of the "Red Triangle" trail. As you start and finish the loop be on the lookout for deer. Your guaranteed to see many especially as you finish back up the last hill just insight of the Fire Post. My wife and I have even seen two big bucks smacking heads at this spot. If your traveling in...

LVPG Central and North Red Triangle Loop

Hiking | 6.0 miles (7.3 miles away)
Hiking | 6.0 miles (7.3 miles away)
Central and Northern portion of the LVPG Red Trianlge route. This route encompasses the entire game preserve. There are some incredible views. At one point you will have to cross a stream and there is no bridge... you may get a little wet (but thats all parts of hiking, right?)
Appellation Trail - Hawk Mtn Road
Eckville, Pennsylvania, United States
Hiking | 12.1 miles (25 miles away)
Hiking | 12.1 miles (25 miles away)
12 mile hike on the Appellation trail. I started on the trail at Hawk Mtn road and hiked about 6 miles and then turned around. This trail is extremely rocky, especially after about 3 miles into the hike around Dans pulpit. Great hike though, and beautiful views.
Went to the top of the falls trail, then followed the fire road to a lookout over the Lehigh River. Followed a marked trail back down.
I actually started at Blue Rocks Campground but I had an issue with my phone so the starting point is basically at Pulpit Rock. Because of this the total trip would have been about 6.5 miles. It was steep going up but even steeper on the decent if you take the yellow blazed trail back to BRC.While at Pulpit Rock I saw two Copperheads in between two rocks. The weren't bothering anyone,...

Mt. Tammany And Sunfish Pond Long Route
Dunnfield, New Jersey, United States
Hiking | 10.4 miles (32 miles away)
Hiking | 10.4 miles (32 miles away)
It is National Trails Day so this day deserved a worthy hike. This hike is not a walk in the woods! There is an initial steep ascent and then miles and miles of pointy rocky trails that will torture your feet. Also you will need to cross a substantial creek at least 5 times and I guarantee you will get wet feet. The payoff? Fantastic views, tranquil meadows, a...
Sunfish Pond via Old Mine Road
Hardwick, New Jersey, United States
Hiking | 4.9 miles (35 miles away)
Hiking | 4.9 miles (35 miles away)
Sadly it’s been some time since we got out for a good ole fashion family
hike. This is a great access point to Sunfish Pond that is much quieter than
the Route 80 Access point via the AT or Dunnfield Creek Trail. Even on a Sunday
this was very lightly travelled. The trail has a few sections of pretty steep
elevation gain but the entire route, inclusive of a loop around the pond comes
in under 5...
Prior to a visit to our firends in PA, we decided to hit a quick, short hike at merrill Creek with a little Geocaching involved. Aleways a great hike with greart scenery!

FIrst thru-hiker sighting
This is 'Samus', formerly (before Mt. Rogers) know as 'Silent Sam', whom
I met today (Friday, April 27th) at the Bake Oven Knob shelter. Samus
was number 7 to register this year at Harpers Ferry, and he says he's
passed two of those since. But he's the first thru-hiker I've been able
to identify as such since flipping north to PA. Yay! He left Springer
Feb 28th and hopes to...

Hiking | 10.5 miles (13.9 miles away)
Beauty from destruction
Today (Saturday April 28th) I hiked the section of trail that has been
partially relocated, between Little Gap and Lehigh Gap, to avoid the
ongoing EPA Superfund restoration work. This section of Blue Mountain
got the worst of the pollution from Palmerton's zinc smelting plant, the
sprawling conglomerate of buildings that sulks like a disembodied ghost
in the valley below as you pass.
But the Superfund work is paying dividends. The...
