AT Sign at Lehigh Gap, PA This sign is at Lehigh Gap, PA, near the west end of the Lehigh River Bridge at PA 873.

According to the Appalachian Trail Data Book 2015, Slatington, PA (zip code 18080), with post office, groceries, lodgings and meals, is two miles east of here.

IMO, Slatington is an easier walk (and hitch into), if you're northbound, than crossing the bridge to its east end and trudging into Palmerton. It's a nice small town, too.
