50th Annual New Year's Eve Hike to the Allentown Shelter (8 miles)
End the year with a hike on the Appalachian Trail!
UPDATE: The State Game Lands parking lot is somewhat cleared but mostly solid ice. The trail is mostly solid ice, as well. Traction devices will be a must tomorrow so definitely bring those along. It’s not supposed to get above freezing anytime soon, so I do not expect conditions to improve.
PLEASE WEAR BLAZE ORANGE AS WE WILL BE ON STATE GAME LANDS AND SHARING THAT SPACE WITH HUNTERS.
We will meet at the PA State Game Lands parking lot on Route 309 for a 4 mile hike to the Allentown Shelter. At the shelter we will enjoy snacks and friendship, so feel free to bring goodies to share around the shelter's picnic table. After a suitable time for socializing, we will hike 4 miles back to our cars. Since we will be spending time at the shelter, bring an extra layer of clothing to stay warm. No dogs or alcoholic beverages. Steady rain or snow on the morning of the hike cancels this event.
