The rain held off on June 4th as Earth Conservancy celebrated National Trails Day with a hike through the Sugar Notch Loop, as part of the Keystone Active Zone Passport Program, sponsored by LiveWell Luzerne.  Beginning at the trailhead along Broadhead Avenue, we passed over rocks, through woods, and across formerly mine-scarred property.  Also met a snake, a deer, and a turkey along the way.  Below, shots from the trek, including an amazing view of I-81, and the beautiful Mountain Laurel that lined much of the path.
Three people walk along a dirt path in the Sugar Notch woods, celebrating National Trails Day. The ground is covered with leaves and rocks as sunlight filters through the trees. All three wear casual clothes and carry backpacks.
