简介

This hike from Bake Oven Knob to Lehigh Gap is one of the more scenic in the state, although the scenery varies considerably - from hawks floating on mountain updrafts to the stark and stunted landscape caused by a century of zinc mining and smelting at Lehigh Gap. At the top of the Blue Mountain ridge, where Bake Oven Knob Road intersects the AT, the trail passes through Pennsylvania Game Commission parking lots and onto a rocky mountain road impassable by any vehicle this side of a military Humvee. Sandstone and quartzite rocks are the obstacles, and the trail climbs through piles of them. Natural history feature: Bake Oven Knob. Social history features: Lehigh Furnace; Lehigh Gap Superfund site.
