About this event
Weather forecast is for temperatures in the 30’s. Let’s get out to enjoy it!!
Meet at 9 AM at the 3B Ice Cream, north of the Dauphin Borough, neat the junction of PA 325 (Clark’s Valley Rd) and PA 225.
This will be a moderate 6-mile hike. We will move a few cars out to the Victoria Trailhead, a few miles up the Clarks Valley Rd before carpooling up the mountain to the Peter’s Mountain Appalachian Trail Parking Lot.
We will hike across the ridge on the Appalachian Trail with a stop at the Peter’s Mountain Shelter. This is one of the largest backcountry shelters on the entire Appalachian Trail. After a brief rest, we will continue on to the Whitetail Trail before dropping down to the trailhead on the Clark’s Valley Rd.
This will be a moderate hike on snow covered trails. Because of the warm weather these past few days, hiking poles are strongly urged as the descent could have a few slick spots before dropping below the snow lines and onto bare ground.
Bring warm clothes, water, lunch, snacks, and camera for a day out in the woods.
Optional post-hike lunch at the Stoney Creek Inn, in the Dauphin Borough.
Because of the car pool situation, please email me if planning to attend.
