Directions: From Macungie, follow the many signs and arrows
pointing to Bear Creek Ski resort. You'll see a sign in area that says
"trailhead" park next to it, trail is to your left. They do provide maps there,
and bear creek does want you to sign in at the hotel your first time, they give
you a wrist band that's good all season.
Trail Information: Start from the parking lot on the blue
trail, this area can be confusing, the map is not the best and there are
different trails all over the place, I just keep heading up, until you get right
next to one of the ski slopes and trail markers turn orange, follow orange all
the way to the top of the mountain, continue to follow orange (there's some
"black diamond" trails that connect with the orange trail at certain points,
however, I don't find them to be that difficult and they tend to be a shorter
way around), the orange trail then becomes red and you follow that all the way
back to the parking lot
Miscellaneous Information: A great run, watch out for mountain
bikes and hikers, and turkeys!
