More details of this hike will be posted as the time nears, as the route may change slightly depending on the amount of snow cover we have.

Annually, I host a February hike around Bethlehem PA to coincide with a party hosted at the home of one of my core group hikers. Those who attend the hike are welcome to join the party.
As planned, this year's hike will be a point to point from the north, following different parks and trails, and some of the old Lehigh and New England Railroad as closely as possible from the area of Bath, PA.
The amount of snow on the ground may change the route of the hike somewhat, and I will be fine tuned it as the time nears.
Volunteers will be needed to help shuttle cars between beginning and end points. I usually wait a few minutes for those running behind, and then we shuttle with as few cars as possible to the beginning point.
Several small pocket parks along the way will be crossed so long as there is not a significant amount of snow cover, and we may also explore some backroads in northern Northampton County near the start.
The hike will conclude probably with a portion of the Monocacy Creek greenway.
