Hike leader, Pradip Bhatnagar (484-252-1947) requests that the interested individuals inform him of their intention to join the hike by the evening of September 11th. We will meet at 7:15 AM in the parking lot of Home Depot at Route 30/ Route 10 Crossing, (Behind Arby’s, 500 Commons Drive, Parkesburg, PA 19365,) Google + X3J7+GF Parkesburg, Pennsylvania). We may leave earlier than 7:15 AM when all the individuals who have informed the HL arrive at the car-pooling point. We will like to start the hike by 8:30 AM. It is a must that we car pool since the parking near the trail head (39°49'19.7"N 76°19'07.8"W) is very limited.
We will explore Conestoga Trail and Kelly’s Run Trail. The Kelly’s Run Trail is 3.8 mile loop that traverses difficult and steep terrain that requires multiple stream crossings and scrambles across bedrock and boulders. As part of the Conestoga Trail, Kelly’s Run Nature Preserve is connected to Pinnacle Overlook by a network of trails. Parts of this can be considered somewhat difficult to strenuous. Please bring water and snacks and Lunch. HL is more than willing to adjust the pace as required by the members of the group. It will be a hike to enjoy the nature and not a race.
