George W. Outerbridge Shelter and Spring – Lehigh Gap – Appalachian Trail Pennsylvania

This was Pre-Day 1 of a planned two day hike on the AT South from Wind Gap to Lehigh Gap along the Appalachian Trail in PA. I got up to Palmerton early and met up with Michael Feyrer Jr. to be featured on his channel’s “The Best Hour of My Day” segment. It was a lot of fun being interviewed and taking some B-Roll style video with him. Originally, I had planned to stay in Palmerton at either a Hotel or Hostel. Turned out Kurt Zitzelman, from Kurt Zitzelman Outdoors, was also there early for the weekend hike. So, rather than staying in town, I hiked South to the George W. Outerbridge Shelter to meet up with him too. The parking at Lehigh Gap is excellent, however, the AT markings out of the lot were poor enough that I missed them and ended up taking an alternate route along the road (not recommended). I realized what I had done the next day on the way back and picked up the correct trail, which is equally as precarious with the heavy traffic. The George W. Outerbridge Shelter is well kept and a nice shelter. Be warned, however, the tent sites are pretty poor and there is no Privy! The climb is a short and steep 0.7 miles to the shelter and spring. The spring is tiny but serviceable and was flowing well on this trip.
