Join us for a full afternoon of hiking on one of eastern Pennsylvania's most scenic trails.  This weekend is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the fall foliage and spend a day outside while the weather is still pleasant.  There will also likely be opportunity to observe the hawks and raptor migration for which the Hawk Mountain is known.

We expect to arrive at the trailhead around noon and spend the rest of the day hiking a 5 mile loop.  After gaining about 1,500 feet in elevation, we will spend two miles bouldering across the mountain's ridge before descending through an extensive and scenic river bed. 

The hike will require moderate physical stamina but no experience in necessary.
