 We missed a LOC hike here but wandered here later in the day; AT east heads to the ridge of rock |
 soon to views |
 north, west and south |
 reaching the ridge |
 a flag beyond |
 cleft |
 and higher view |
 purple flowers from grasslike clumps |
 we continue on the AT to views of palmerton |
 some heavy industry |
 and trailside warning |
 we return to the winter trail junctions |
 and enjoy new views |
 trailside foliage |
 open walking |
 past an old springhouse |
 descending to an old rail bed |
 a lush wet spot on the way back to the parking area |
