Point to point hike starting from the Osprey House and finishing at Translater Lane.

This is an evening trek where will hike a series of trails throughout Lehigh Gap Nature Center property... LNE Trail, Prairie Grass Trail, Charcoal Trail, Appalachian Trail up to a grouping of cell towers where we will wait for sunset before descending Translater Lane. Total elevation gain will be approximately 1,200'. At the towers we will wait for dark and listen for the calls of the Whip-Poor-Will on our way back down. We will be hiking in the dark on the descent so a flashlight or headlamp is essential. Please bring water and wear sturdy hiking boots. Trekking poles are recommended as the area we will be hiking is steep and rocky. Steady rain cancels.
