Located northwest of Allentown and about an hour and half’s drive from Philly, Bake Oven Knob is a 1,585-foot peak on the Blue Mountain rocky ridge in southeast Pennsylvania. The Appalachian Trail runs in this area and is your best option for hiking this interesting peak. The hike is fairly rocky with some scrambling, but large rocks on both sides of the trail offer fantastic vantage points to enjoy views of the Blue Mountain. This popular hiking destination is especially interesting during the raptor migration in the fall, when you can also enjoy a flamboyant show of colors in the surrounding forests.
