THIS HIKE IS CANCELED DUE TO THE EXPECTED THUNDERSTORM FORECAST. A loop hike of the switchback railroad at Jim Thorpe.

This rugged hike will start at Mauch Chunk Lake Park. We will hike on historic rail beds with a graded ascent to a vista followed by a steep descent back into town. And a swingset! After a break in town we will follow Mauch Chunk Creek back to our cars. Please bring 2+ liters of water plus lunch and snacks and wear sturdy hiking boots. Trekking poles are recommended.
