A short challenging hike with some fine views and some interesting history

We'll hike up a steep rocky slope in Lehigh Gap, past the George W. Outerbridge Shelter on the AT, up to the top of the ridge with fine views of Palmerton below, then back down a series of trails thru the recovering Palmerton Zinc Superfund Site, past the Marshall Mansion atop the red hill, and along the Lehigh River on the bed of the former Lehigh-New England RR. This is not a beginner's hike due to the steep 1000' ascent and rocky terrain. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Bring at least a liter of water and food/snacks. No pets please.

Rocky and tricky terrain, some climbing, and many breathtaking views at what should be the peak of foliage season

An out-and-back hike with many breathtaking views, but challenging due to the generally rocky footing and the narrow stretch of tilted quartzite rocks known as the Knife Edge, which we will traverse twice. Bear Rocks is a large irregular stack of quartzite boulders (some as large as tractor trailers) that requires some hands over feet climbing, but offers amazing 360 views from the top. This hike is not for those with balance issues or fear of heights. Sturdy hiking boots are a must. Bring at least two liters of water and food/snacks. No pets please.
