A loop hike to the Pulpit and Pinnacle.

This is a 9 mile hike, starting at the Hamburg Reservoir going up to Pulpit Rock and then along the ridge to the Pinnacle for spectacular winter views. This is not a beginner's hike due to the 1000' ascent and very rocky terrain. Bring at least 2 liters of water and lunch/snacks. Rain or snowy conditions will cancel.
