Whip-Poor-Will Hike under the Full Strawberry Moon (5-6 miles)

Point to point hike from the Osprey House and finishing at Translater Lane.
There will be cars positioned at the end of the hike to get us back to the Nature Center. If you are willing to help with this shuttle, please arrive at the Nature Center by 5:00pm. Otherwise, please arrive in time for a 5:30pm hike departure.

This is an evening hike where will hike a series of trails throughout Lehigh Gap Nature Center property... LNE Trail, Prairie Grass Trail, Charcoal Trail, Appalachian Trail up to a grouping of cell towers where we will wait for sunset before descending Translater Lane. Total elevation gain will be approximately 1,200'. At the towers we will wait for dark and attempt to listen for the calls of the Whip-Poor-Will. We will be hiking in the dark on the descent so a flashlight or headlamp is essential. Please bring water and wear sturdy hiking boots. Trekking poles are recommended as the area we will be hiking is steep and rocky.
