clarke's ferry bridge northbound

[swoosh]

harrisburg area hike. located across the clarke's ferry bridge from duncannon. i just parked in the little car parking lot right off the exit. the trail is right across the railroad tracks. it was a nice hike, as the 1st part of it went up a steep incline and then switchbacked across the ridge of peters' mountain. then it kind of graded out for the last stretch, to clarke's ferry shelter.
5 miles round trip (approximately)
