Description

Join Get Your Tail on the Trail's free trail walking program this year called Health and Heritage Walks. Add any or all of these walks to your exercise repertoire to meet new people, learn new things, and experience different areas of the D&L trail. This months walk is actually a BIKE RIDE. Walkers will fall behind, so grab that bike and push your comfort levels! Join us on a 4-mile bike ride along the Saucon Rail Trail. Along the way, we will look at how the landscape of the Lehigh Valley was sculpted over hundreds of millions of years by geologic forces that have left their mark in the rocks around us; from ancient oceans to primeval swamps to iron furnaces and cement factories we will trace our geologic past and how it impacts our present. We will meet in the parking lot of Water Street park and bike about 2 miles down the trail, stopping occasionally. We will then turn and return to the lot, passing it, to reach another stop on our geological tour. At that point you will have the option to return to the parking lot or continue on by yourself. This bike ride is perfect for those of us working on our biking endurance. RAIND DATE: May 28th @ 10 am
