Loop hike through the Trexler Nature Preserve

This hike is planned in support of the Keystone Trails Association (KTA) Spring Hiking Weekend in Jim Thorpe. https://www.kta-hike.org/spring-hiking-weekend-2018.html Follow-up to Friday’s hike to explore additional trails at this location. The Trexler Nature Preserve is a 1,108 acre expanse founded by Gen. Harry C Trexler as a way to protect endangered bison and elk at the turn of the century. This hike will take us through sections of the preserve where we will most likely catch a glimpse of these animals in their natural habitat. Please bring 2+ liters of water and snacks and wear sturdy hiking boots.
