Charcoal Hike with an Archaeologist

This is a 2 – 4 mile hike with some bushwhacking on the AT trail. We will learn about the “Charcoal” region and see it through the eyes of an archaeologist. This hike is designed to highlight the charcoal industry of the Blue Mountains. It will be led by one of the AHC hike leaders and Ben Carter, who is an archaeologist from Muhlenberg College. This is a B+ hike. Please bring at least 2 bottles of water, pack a lunch, and wear a good pair of hiking boots/shoes. This is a rain or shine hike, if there are no thunderstorms. Due to the lack of parking spaces at the starting point, I would suggest we all carpool as much as possible. So, we will meet at Lehigh Gap Nature Center (8844 Paint Mill Rd – Slatington, PA) and travel to the location from there.
