“We
ran as if to meet the moon.”
~ Robert Frost
~ 1874-1963
The
autumn moon seems to meet the mountain as it rises to shine over the Kittatinny
Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, along the Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor
(D&L Trail) at Lehigh Gap on a late November evening.
In the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, the Lehigh Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and the D&L Trail.
The
Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh
Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
