Walking Trails

Directly behind the Inclined Plane is the James Wolfe Sculpture Trail, the first such trail in the United States. Mr. Wolfe, a nationally renowned sculptor, was commissioned to create eight steel sculptures from remnants produced by the local Bethlehem Steel plant. His premier piece is a majestic 40-foot sculpture situated directly below the Incline’s observation deck entitled "Triumph of the Spirit." 

 You can access the trail, through the special doorway and staircase at the Conductor's booth at the base of the Incline.  The sculptures are to your left.

You can also hike to the right; this trail traverses the front slope of Yoder Hill and will bring you to the top of the Inclined Plane, just south of the Visitors Center on Edgehill Drive.  Or if you are at the top of the Incline, you can walk past the Visitors Center and enter the trail at the little parklet on Edgehill Drive just south of the Incline Buildings.
