6+ miles (moderate to strenuous climbs/ descent/ some rocks)
Come out for an active hike on the AT - get those legs & lungs in shape, starting with an uphill climb to the ridge line, following a forested path to another ascent, and onto outstanding views of farmlands, the Schuykill River, Cabela's, and Hamburg. We will then descend down a series of switchbacks to Port Clinton. Bring water, snacks, and boots. The "carrot on the stick" is food afterwards at a local eatery. (suggestions taken)
1st Meeting Place: 8:30 am at Redner's on Route 61 North in Leesport
2nd Meeting Place: 9:15 am at Port Clinton Playground off of Route 61 North in Port Clinton (call for directions)

BCHC is a hiking club that is located in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The club was first organized in the Fall of 1921. This is the official club site. We list weekly hikes that range from short easy strolls to strenuous mountain hikes. The type of hike is dependent on the leaders that volunteer to fill our quarterly schedules. This site lists some of the recent scheduled weekly Saturday hikes. Annual membership dues for the beginning of 2025 are $10.00 for those who would like to join our club.
