Monocacy Nature Trail Bethlehem
Today we hiked the Monocacy Nature Trail from Illicks Mill along the creek to Burnside Plantation, through Historic Bethlehem to the Lehigh River, and then through some pretty neighborhoods in Bethlehem back to the Mill. Although today was cooler than earlier in the week, it was still a warm, muggy day. We made a refreshing stop for some ice cream in Bethlehem midway through the hike.
Walking along the Monocacy. There was lots of poison ivy on these trails. I took a long shower using Fels-Naptha when I got home, I will know tomorrow if that was enough of a preventative...
Some of the trail was along railroad tracks.

Looks like a sweet hike!
Yes, it was fun!
Hi Anne - that looks wonderful, and of course, any trip that involves ice cream is extra special. With my very sore foot I am going to hike vicariously through you for now, so thanks for sharing your hike and your beautiful photos. Art
Thanks Art. I hope your foot recovers very soon and that you are out there hiking when you are able. In the meantime, if I ever have another ice cream hike, I will make sure to eat an extra scoop for you! Hope you are feeling better soon.
Anne
Thanks Anne - I am smiling thinking of you having an extra scoop of ice cream on my behalf! Go for it! Thanks for the well wishes. Art
