Bake Oven Knob Overlook ~ Along the Appalachian Trail

[@lindajoy7208]

I can only mirror what others are saying about destroying the environment. I really enjoyed the walk through the woods and hearing the birds sing. You can't beat it. Thank you.

[@patcheslove5139]

You are right , lot of people don't know how to keep a place clean . But it is still pretty .

[@theshooksterler6208]

I actually live at the bottom of the knob, Been here so many times!!!

[@matthewkriebel7342]

You’re getting closer to my neck of the woods. My wife grew up like 5 miles from there.

[@rabignall]

I just don't understand why people have to destroy things so beautiful?

[@marlenejordan1696]

I just discovered and subscribed to this channel . great videos.

YOU ARE TOPS WITH ME.COME TO WESTERN PA I WILL SHOW YOU THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN BEING THE GREAT HISTORIAN YOU ARE

[@chrisgray8774]

I actually liked the view from the second overlook better. The trees were pretty.

[@Mariekr49]

My friend planted a tree at the beginning of this trail for her sister who passed away. Unfortunately a low life unearthed it and destroyed it,incredibly sad. Needs to be monitored.

[@rustednbustedmopars6087]

I literally live 2 miles down the mountain and own the whole other side of the bear rocks in the other parking lot where it meets state game lands

[@Mariekr49]

Rusted n busted Mopars bear rocks is near here? Is this a hiking area

[@rustednbustedmopars6087]

marie kr yes the bear rocks is the other parking lot next to the one for the bake oven knob. The trail actually runs at the whole top half of my property which goes about half way up the mountain and then it’s state game lands on the other half going up but the trail is the divider between us and I get a lot of unwanted people coming down on my land destroying stuff. Years ago my dad built a bathroom and a camp site for hikers up there and kids destroyed it. The trails especially the bake oven knob are too easy to access which brings in more obnoxious people that don’t care

[@donaldmilhoan6379]

Beautiful view!!!

[@RedneckHillbilly-ho9md]

I have a feeling that foundation was from a fire tower and that was probably a very hot area where the sun beat down all day and the men who manned the fire tower probably called it the Bake Oven. Just a thought because that is how most of our names for places come about.

[@RevengeOfTheApocalypse]

Headed here today

[@jeepinjohnny2898]

yo - WW. another fine one. thanks.

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

Beautiful view WW and Thanks for your video. Those who paint and trash up so beautiful a spot, disrespect themselves, others and Mother Earth. When people are brainwashed they lose touch with their Spirit. As Chief Seattle, I believe it was stated, "Whatever you do to the Earth you do to yourself". And you do to others as well. I do believe people are waking up and beginning to see what has been happening for centuries. To do this to a beautiful place is sorry to say the least. Thanks Again WW for your videos, your awareness of all other living things along the paths and being respectful of out Mother Earth and others! DaveyJO

Bake Oven Knob Unique name for a trail

[@karenpacker8862]

Beautiful overlook! Tried to ignore the graffiti and trash! Smart to wait on "loud" people leaving to go on.

[@alicescott9893]

Welcome to the Lehigh valley

[@dreamweaver5869]

Great view, my buddy had his car broken into and vandalized at that parking area. It should be patrolled more often 🤷‍♂️

[@nickmad887]

love going with you.

[@bindig1]

Used to hike and camp at The Knob frequently in the '70s. It's disappointing how much graffiti there is now. There was none back in the day.

[@bahamajim1998]

Graffiti is for trains . View were nice!

[@tamianderson123]

Awful that people are pigs. I love hiking. My favorite hikes have all been in New Hampshire. It's so beautiful and clean.

[@marydugan3399]

Theres always some who ruin it for others

[@joankamp4513]

I wish if people feel they have to write on stuff that they would use chalk so it would wash off. Litter is rotten too. Great view.

[@anneliesevoelker2502]

If you read Bryson's book a walk in the woods there was a murder on the AT. If I remember correctly, the couple were two women. A gay couple according to the book. Not sure if that came up in the movie. I have seen the movie.

[@DDExplores]

Beautiful place,,,,, if it wasn't for the trash and paint,,,,,

[@lindagreen1105]

People having fun is great but why destroy what mother nature has given you to enjoy?

[@lindagreen1105]

@surface success Or Mother Nature or this country. I will pray for them to wake up0 before this natural beauty is not all they destroy. Be safe friend.

[@mrwhite8444]

That's what happens when some people that moved to the area from NYC

[@glennrcarlsonII8888]

I dont mind graffiti, if its tasteful & artistic. The litter issue is just Lazy-Slob-Aholes.

[@bdickinson6751]

What is done there is neither tasteful or artistic! I used to go there years ago when it was not trashed and enjoyed the area. Last time I was there, it looked like this and I've never returned. This is inexcusable!

[@JamesRobertSmith]

I often hear that the AT in Pennsylvania is the rockiest section of the trail. Having hiked in Maine and New Hampshire, I rather doubt that claim. Still, it seems to be at least as rocky as parts of the AT in Virginia. Too bad so many scumbags go to the overlook and screw it up. Maybe it would help if some of those dirtbags were kicked in the ass.

[@its4electric]

Thanks for the trip such a shame punks have to ruin it with spray paint and trash

[@davidunderwp8566]

🇬🇧 Great panoramic views but the graffiti was horrendous. Such an indictment of some sections of society today 🇬🇧

[@gregkellow4723]

Such a shame. It just takes one moron to tag the place, then every jerk with a can of spray paint has to follow. I've seen so many beautiful places that have been painted on for decades. Such a nice view too. Just kinda funny how it is such a popular place. Usually when there is an obstacle, like that river of jagged rocks, it's a barrier for unsavory types.

[@eliskagray1546]

Nice view. Too bad about the graffiti. Why ruin nature.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

I wonder what historians/archeologists a few thousand years from now will say about today's graffiti?

[@Friskee62]

Not much to say about "small minded' folks who like to destroy places like that...

[@TaMboL.VicToRy2911]

Thanks for the video. .....Planning to go here for the views. I don't look forward to the trash and graffiti 😓 Makes me sad people destroy God's creation.

[@donnicholas7552]

Beautiful view ruined by graffiti.

[@p.k.5455]

Sad to see the lack of respect for nature...keep the spray paint to the cities where nature has already been upended

[@chelseydeetta2847]

I don't understand why they would paint rocks, its looks so ugly and the trash. People don't have respect for what l God has made for alll of us to enjoy.

[@kateclark7250]

Cool overlooks, but it's sad about the graffiti and garbage...
