This hike takes you all the way to the summit of Mt. Minsi on the white-blazed Appalachian Trail with an elevation gain of 1,060 feet in 2 miles.  Beautiful views of Delaware Water Gap and Mt. Tammany from summit.  More graduate descent down fire road, with potential for several short side trails on way down.  Bring water and snack.  Afterwards, we will have lunch and spend afternoon at Rainbow Mountain Resort, which features a beautiful large swimming pool.  Please bring swim attire if you plan to attend.  I have informed a leader of Philaventures, the local Philly LGBT outdoor group, to informally let their members know about this event.
