Saturday July 11, 2015 - The Highpoint of Berks County


 5 – 5.5 miles

Diane is leading this hike to get ‘high’ by taking us to the highpoint of Berks County. No, not the pinnacle, this is the true highpoint of Berks County. This hike will be along woodland trails with some rocks. Sign the logbook proving you are a “high-pointer!” Wear sturdy hiking boots, carry water and snacks as well as sunscreen and insect repellant. Optional lunch later at the famous Haag’s Hotel in Shartlesville.


Meeting place: 9:30 am, Parking lot off of Rte. 183 on the right, 2.8 miles from I-78
