Join us while it's not yet freezing out to hike the route from the Hamburg Reservoir up to Pulpit Rock and The Pinnacle . These overlooks offer some of the absolute best views in Berks County!
We’ll hike together to Pulpit Rock. From there, hikers can choose to:
✅ Continue on to The Pinnacle
✅ Relax at the overlook and return with the shorter-distance group
Plan on about 3.5–4 hours total if going to The Pinnacle.
Dogs are welcome if leashed and trail-friendly.
We’ll keep a friendly and flexible pace. New hikers and first-timers welcome!
We hope to see you there!
Here are the trail details
Total Distance: ~7.5 miles round-trip to The Pinnacle
Optional Short Route: ~3 miles round-trip if you’d rather stop at Pulpit Rock and head back
Difficulty: Moderate (steady climb, some rocky sections)
Elevation Gain: ~900 ft
Terrain: Mostly rocky Appalachian Trail — good footwear recommended!
