If you have previously completed the Intermediate Hiking for Fitness Program or can hike 7.5 miles with at least 1,500ft of elevation, this hike may be right for you. From the White Barn parking lot, we will head up to the observatory and take Lower Bald Mountain Trail to the summit of Bald Mountain, where we will eat lunch. From the summit, we will take an adventurous return on Gray Pine Trail, down the lesser-traveled Red Mountain and Headwaters Trails, cutting across Vista Trail back to the now-familiar Bald Mountain and Lower Bald Mountain Trails. We strongly recommend completion of the shorter version of the Bald Mt. hike (in and out via Bald Mountain Trail) as a pre-requisite.
This event is free but requires RSVP. Wear appropriate footwear for rocky or slippery trails and multiple layers (it will be cold when we start, but you’ll get warmed up as we climb). Bring your lunch, at least two quarts of water, and hiking poles if you use them. Heavy rains cancel. Parking fees apply.
