Exploring the KTA section of the AT

This hike is being led by Paul Shaw in conjunction with the Keystone Trails Association (KTA) Spring Hiking Weekend in Jim Thorpe. https://www.kta-hike.org/spring-hiking-weekend-2018.html One of the most scenic hikes in Pennsylvania! After hiking to the top of the Kittatinny Ridge on the AT we will traverse the spectacular North Trail with extensive ridge top grasslands and amazing views of the Lehigh River and ridges and valleys to the north. After descending the north slope of the Kittatinny Ridge, we complete our loop back to the Nature Center via a succession of very scenic trails with continuous views. This AT section is now maintained by the KTA. Please bring 2+ liters of water plus lunch/snacks and wear sturdy hiking boots. Sunscreen and trekking poles are also recommended.
