7.5-mile, moderate hike. We cancelled this hike last winter due to snow. July should bring more suitable weather for our exploration of another section of the AT trail in southern Pennsylvania. From our meeting place at Old Forge, we will carpool to the hike start at Caledonia State Park. From there, we will climb to the popular viewpoint of Chimney Rock, 1000 feet above before descending to Old Forge. Though the trail is well-maintained and has a reasonable grade, hikers should be prepared for the substantial climb. Due to the shuttle, no dogs will be allowed, and you must be willing to drive or ride with others. There is no charge for the hike, but donations are welcome.
Bring plenty of water and a bagged lunch. Protection from sun and bugs is advisable, and some may find hiking poles or a staff to be helpful.
We will carry on in light rain, but cancel in case of a storm.
