Just north of the Appalachian Trail lies a side of the Kittatinny Ridge denuded by a century of industrial pollution. Now undergoing revitalization, a well-blazed network of multi-tiered hiking trails - from river level to mountain ridges - provides miles of panoramic views into the Lehigh Gap and Pocono region.
