This is a classic loop hike to the Pulpit and Pinnacle.

What better way to enjoy the crisp fall air than by climbing a mountain? This is a 10 mile loop hike, starting at the Hamburg Reservoir parking lot, climbing to Pulpit Rock and then following the ridge to the Pinnacle for spectacular views of the Lehigh Valley. This is not a beginner's hike due to the 1000' ascent and very rocky terrain. Bring a least 2L of water and lunch / snacks. Steady rain cancels.
