Prepare for a bit of a challenge when you set off on the 2.7-mile, moderately-rated Witch's Hat via Upper Glen Trail in Reading.

Traverse through a tunnel of trees, which takes on a spooky aura when the mountain is veiled in fog, on the way to the top. The hotels are long gone - abandoned then, in some cases, consumed by an arsonist's flame.

Today, little remains of those glory days. You'll pass the foundations of the disappeared buildings where visitors once danced and played.

Graffiti artists have made their mark along the path, spray painting rocks and, unfortunately, the one structure that remains.

Witch's Hat, a pavilion that earned the moniker due to its shape, looks foreboding and lonely, standing atop Neversink Mountain.

However, you'll definitely want to go inside!

Because these spectacular views of Reading will likely take your breath away.

Before you hit the trail, make sure you're up for the steep climb in some areas. and bring plenty of water, especially on hot days.
