Explore the New Black Bear Loop

March 6, 2021

Hike on our newest trail at the Britton Forest on Moose Mountain. Built in 2020 by the Upper Valley Trails Alliance’s High School Trail Corps and volunteers from Hypertherm, the ~ 1 mile trail explores a gentle to moderately challenging route through the forest. We’ll look for wildlife signs in the winter woods. Snowshoes or micro-spikes are recommended, depending on conditions; gear is available to borrow.

Level: Easy (one brief moderate slope)

Leader: Adair Mulligan

Group size is limited to 9 participants + 1 leader; pre-registration here is required. Note that we maintain a small waitlist for pre-scheduled events (not for our pop-up trips). If your plans change, please let us know! You will be contacted before each trip to confirm your spot, so that we may offer room to someone else if available.
