Join us for a sunset hike from the Hamburg Reservoir up to The Pinnacle . These overlooks offer some of the absolute best views in Berks County!
We’ll hike together to Pulpit Rock. From there, hikers can choose to:
✅ Continue on to The Pinnacle
✅ Relax at the overlook and return the same way or by the easier road.
Plan on about 4-5 hours total if going to The Pinnacle. Sunset is at 6:53, so we want to get up there by ~6:15
Dogs are welcome if leashed and trail-friendly.
We’ll keep a friendly and flexible pace. New hikers and first-timers welcome!
We hope to see you there!
Here are the trail details
**Pinnacle: ~**9.5 miles round-trip< ~1200 ft elevation gain. This is following the AT, not the road. Moderate: if you are use to hiking or running, this is not a hard hike, but it may be difficult for new hikers.
Pulpit Rock: ~4 mi,~ 900 fr elevation gain. There is a shorter route. The difficulty is about the same just shorter.
Both routes have a much easier gravel road on the way down.
This a sunset hike so please be prepared with:
Appropriate hiking clothes and shoes
Warm layer(s) for at the top and after the sun is down. A rain jacket or windbreaker is recommended.
Snacks and water; optional picnic dinner/drinks for sunset!
Headlamp, flashlight, or other reliable light (no cell phones!)
Travel blanket, etc. might be nice for picnicking/weather.
