Overview

Let's take a nice hike in this wooded area in Bethlehem. You'll forget you're in the city for a while as we traverse varied terrain with some hills and some views of the Lehigh River. We will follow a number of hiking and bicycle trails and do a little bushwacking to visit the remnants of an abandoned park. Hike is rated MODERATE with some elevation gain, a brisk pace, and mileage which will be about 8 (but can be extended at a certain point). Bring water and a snack or lunch. Traction devices may be helpful if it has been cold. Meet by 10 a.m. at the DODSON STREET PARK off Broadway between Bethlehem and Allentown (Dollar General store on the corner of Dodson St.). This is a show and go hike but contact leader with any questions. CHECK FOR CANCELLATION BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME. Any cancellation posted by 8 a.m. on the activities calendar https://amcdv.org/activities/activities-calendar/
