Watch the moonrise from the Pinnacle

COVID PROTOCOL CALLS FOR FACE COVERINGS WHEN UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A 6-FOOT SOCIAL DISTANCE. Please arrive by 2:30pm for a 2:45pm departure. As we will need to make it up to the Pinnacle by sunset, the group will leave on time. Traffic and construction on Route 22 can be very unpredictable so plan your timing accordingly. Come and watch the full moon rise from the Pinnacle... November's Full Moon is the Beaver Moon, named because it's the time when beavers usually head into their lodges for winter. This is an 9 mile loop hike, starting at the Hamburg Reservoir parking lot and then going up to the Pulpit and Pinnacle for spectacular views of the rising full moon. Sunset is at 4:43pm and moonrise is at 4:57pm. This is not a beginner's hike due to the ~1000' ascent, rocky terrain and nighttime conditions. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Bring a headlamp or flashlight, at least 2 liters of water and food/snacks. Also bring extra layers as we will be sitting at the Pinnacle for a while watching the moon rise. Rain or cloudy conditions cancels.
