Don’t miss this very special and beautiful hike. The Kellys Run Trail is a 3.8 mile loop that traverses some difficult and steep terrain, and has stream crossings and scrambles across bedrock and boulders. As part of the Conestoga Trail, Kellys Run Nature Preserve is connected to Pinnacle Overlook, a 1.5 mile loop. This not to be missed scenic site can be viewed during the lunch break.  Bring a lunch, water and beverage of choice.  Hiking boots and poles are recommended.  Please note that Glenn will have his cell phone, but the service is unreliable.  Print the directions for Kellys Run Trail’s Parking Lot and the specified map “Kelly’s Run/Pinnacle Overlook” for reference.
