So, here is the hike I intended to do when my spikes broke, but this time with the my new FRANDEK Crampons (Microspikes). These are the Amazon "cheapies" and we'll see how they stack up.

This time we travel south from Swatara State Park to Clark's Valley Rd. This section always throws me off, at Swatara the AT makes a weird "S" turn which causes the trail to, in essence, switch directions around the park. In this section you physically travel north to follow the AT south and vice versa.

Baxter Mt. is 2,440 feet high at it's peak and the round trip on the blue trail is roughly 3 miles. Don't let those numbers fool you though, there are a couple fairly steep sections near the top.
