Start Point: Trailhead sign at the bottom of the mountain. The winter trail branches off the AT from this sign.

End Point: Boundary line of PA-NJ on the bridge that crosses Delaware River.   

This is another part of the "Rocksylvania" segment of the AT, known for it's rocky terrain throughout.

An unfortunate disposition is that Palmerton is also the home to an EPA Superfund site focused on cleaning up the remnants of a formerly-massive zinc plant. Heading north on the AT, the views are endless, though a solemn reminder of the town's history and present situation.

The northern terminus is at end of Summit County Road 1832 (some maps list as road as 1830) at GPS Coordinates: 39°50'13.5"N 106°22'08.4"W

(39.837092, -106.369012)

The southern terminus is at the “Scenic Area" pull off on I-70, just past mile marker 196.5, right before Highway 91 exit at Copper Mountain.

Overview. The longest trail in Arches National Park, with amazing scenery in a quite remote setting, combined with side-trips to 8 named arches and the impressive Dark Angel monolith.

Need to Know. No water along the route and very limited shade.

Spectacular tour of some of the most interesting features of the Needles district of the Canyonlands National Park, starting from the Squaw Flat Trailhead parking area, keeping to the right at the first intersection to catch the connector trail that brings to the Druid Arch Trail. Continue all the way to the Druid Arch (very steep last section, involving a steel ladder) and then come back to the Druid Arch Trail until taking the Chesler Park Trail on the left and then the Devils Kitchen Trail on the right.
