KATHY & KAY will lead an ~ 5 mile hike on two separate trails in Spring Township, Berks County. Come along to explore the township’s newest park at Shiloh Hills Elementary School. The Shiloh Hills Trail is cindered and about 2.2 miles long. After this portion of trekking we will continue, all downhill, but out in the open, to another of Spring Township’s hidden gems. We will then hike in Kline’s Creek Park finishing our hiking there for this event. From our meeting point we will drive to our starting point and there is also a short shuttle between the two parks. Dress appropriately, proper weather gear, for whatever Mother Nature may have in store for us. Lunch after the hike is an option for anyone interested.
