We will explore the new boardwalk trail and some of the other trails at the Dorothy Rider Pool Wildlife Sanctuary with an optional stop after the walk for some food.

Meet at Trout Hall at 4th and Walnut Streets in Allentown.

This walk is on city sidewalks with stops to look at our surroundings. We will end our walk at St. John's Lutheran Church on S. 5th St. for the Bach At Noon concert. The concert is free, but donations are appreciated. Bring water and snacks. Rain on the morning of the even cancels the walk portion, but anyone interested in the concert can meet at the church at 11:50 a.m.

For those of us who need some easy walking to get back in shape... we will start on the walking path around the park loop (about 3/4 mile) and then the ballfield next to the Quakertown Park (almost 2 miles). You can do either loop or both depending on how much you want to do.

See below for meeting location.

This is an evening trek 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 listen for the calls of the Whip-Poor-Will on our way back down. We will be hiking in the dark on the descent so a flashlight or headlamp is essential. Please bring snacks, water, and wear sturdy hiking boots. Trekking poles are recommended as the area we will be hiking is steep and rocky. Steady rain cancels.
