Hiked this trail several times. My Marine Stepson, Scott who passed away in 2015 loved hiking here. Great Hike. The Rock Scramble on the AT just before Pulpit Rock is fun. Looking forward to doing it again in August. A must stop afterwards is Cabelas in Hamburg.
We used to pick a rock and throw it on the cairn pile when I was a kid and would go to Camp Nawakwa in Arendtsville, PA . It was a Lutheran church camp.
I had a friend that died about 4 years ago, he loved to go to see the scenery at the Pinnacle, his family took his ashes up there that's where he wanted to be for eternity, next time you go there make sure that you say hello to my friend Mark.
I Hope the RUclips BS does not affect You! I Love Your Videos! I am a "shut-in" (disability reasons), and I Love Your videos (like JP Videos), and appreciate what you show. It helps Me "see" things that I could never see on my own. I Love Nature and History. (Esp. of PA)
Nice hike....thanks for sharing. I hiked this a few years back while doing sections of the AT. I added my own rock to that pile. There were lots of people there that day. I hope you dispatched that lantern fly!! For your opening pic...it almost looks like the Paddy Mountain Tunnel on the Mid-State Trail...from a long time ago :>). Happy hiking.
So many gorgeous colours, you're very lucky to live in such a beautiful state, the views were stunning. I swear they have got rid of a lot of grafitti from the Pinnacle overlook or was that a different one ??. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the cave video. x
I enjoy your videos - and living the SE Pennsylvania I look forward to emulating your hikes. I would like to have the date you completed the hike and a bit more about the weather in your video or posted below. Keep wandering!
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 2 weeks ago we drove to Pittsburgh for the game .Before going through blue mountain tunnel I though I seen those lookouts rock cropping from the turnpike ,but I could be wrong .This is a credit to you ,an great appreciation of what you bring to all us subscribers .I also noticed the Berks County sign lol...Cool .
Is there any advantage or disadvantage of going up the other way past the reservoir and do pinnacle first then pulpit and go down reservoir Road to parking lot
Suggestion: healthier snacks you could bring along on your hikes.. Kashi Chewy Granola Bars.. I recommend Chocolate Peanut Butter. They come 8 to a box and are much better than those dried jerky things.. and better for you! ;-)
Wanted to ask you about your backpack: I metal detect and am often miles from my vehicle so I carry all the necessities I’ll anticipate needing for the day. I am going to upgrade to a backpack, from a tool belt, Fanny pack and finds back. Ugh What kind do you use and would you recommend it without hesitation?

I love the walk from The Pinbacle to the heli-pad, to the reservoir trail head. An enchanted forest.
Those leaves are stunning! Great video!

Was this at the peak of fall colors? So gorgeous!!!! The view was breathtaking!!!! Wish it was still fall!!!!

Thanks for this video. I'll be making this hike in the next few weeks before winter sets in.
New Sub’ here. Heading to this trail tomorrow. Thanks for the awesome video!!! 👊🏼
Today I imagine a 20 year old me bouncing along behind enjoying this beautiful scenery, thank you for making me feel young again .

What a beautiful place for Mark.I will say hello next time I am there.
@@phillyrocks3847 Thank you for letting me know that I don't forget him! Happy Trails!!
@danieltorrens4954 I have camped at Blue Rocks and hiked to the top from there. Seriously a great piece of nature.
That was credibly beautiful. Autumn such a beautiful season those views were breathtaking. Really enjoyed walking with you
Dude. I didn't know this existed! Fantastic video! It had spectacular views, peanut butter sandwiches, a dog... those are three of my favorite things!
Enjoyed the fall colors and views
That was amazing, and those views were wonderful. You got some great colors too
Thank you, that was a great video.
Very beautiful hike! Please tell me you killed the spotted lantern fly.
Beautiful area! Very colorful too.

It shouldn't have affect my channel.
A look out over time a beautiful vista.

Awesome video. This place is on my list to see! Nice to get a preview from a pro!
I LOVE IT UP THERE ! .... THAT IS AN AWESOME HIKE AND ALSO AN AMAZING VIEW ! 💕
Did you toss a rock on the mound ?
Wow! What a view! A million dollar one. Thanks Cliff!

That was a different overlook.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 I did think it might be but I wasn't sure, a great view either way and the colours are outstanding.
Cool
I call those fall colors, "Fruit Loops"'
At 5:02. The sign says to look out for Pulpit rocks. So duck.
I remember those rocks just too big to step over but too small to step on. Good memories.
Very nice. Thanks
I hiked to both of them two I stayed at the nearby blue rock campground it was a total of at least 7.5 miles for me.
Pulpit Rock doesn't get the cred it deserves.....
Been there, Done that, loved it!
Copperhead central! I've never seen so many snakes in my life! Beautiful view though 👍

Late October

It is.

thank you
I know this video is 4 years old but does anyone know if you can camp here
I like the dog... yup
ME TOO
I think I like the Pulpit rock view better.
Is there any advantage or disadvantage of going up the other way past the reservoir and do pinnacle first then pulpit and go down reservoir Road to parking lot
Holy crap! I think that dog's name is Rudy! Roflmao! Was that September 14th?
Late October
Why is there so many areas with the name burg in them such as Hamburg, Lewisburg... etc...?
Pennsylvania Dutch-German settlers in Berks and Lancaster counties.
You could have had a hiking Pal if he was actually lost !!! 15:59 Turkey Buzzards circling over a carcass or just riding the thermals !! 18:07
Do people hand glide off of Pinnacle rock ???
I don't think so, to far of a walk to carry all that gear.
I'm going to go to Hamburg, PA and actually get a hamburg with fries and a coke !!!

That was a rarity at Pulpit Rock! Good luck getting that place to yourself any more! You're about 45 years too late for that.☹

It's a Timber Hawk, works great for me.
