Hike an Appalachian Trail section affected by recent fires.

We will carpool to Lehigh Furnace Gap and climb several hundred feet to the ridge crest, where we will see what effect the recent fires had on the trail. At the North Trail we will follow that trail along the open ridge where a different fire impacted the area. Then we will descend the North Trail to the Appalachian Trail and pass by the Outerbridge Shelter and return to our cars by way of the Woodpecker Trail. Bring water and snacks; sturdy footwear required.
