The hike from Lehigh Gap is uphill for the first mile. It is steep with many rocks and boulders to climb. The ledges are narrow and caution is required. At the top, hikers walk along the ridge line for 12 miles, sometimes over rock fields in full sun, and other times on grassy, flat sections in the shade of the woods.
