BRIDGTON — Join Loon Echo Land Trust for the annual sunrise hike up Bald Pate Mountain on Saturday, March 21.
The early morning vernal equinox hike is a great way to welcome the season. In the past, hikers have been treated to spectacular views of the sun peeking over Rattlesnake Mountain.
Wear appropriate warm clothing and boots; bring water, snacks, a headlamp and snowshoes or traction devices.
Meet Loon Echo Stewardship Manager Jon Evans at 6 a.m. in the Bald Pate Mountain main parking lot on Route 107 in South Bridgton.
Sunrise is at 6:46 a.m. This moderate hike will include a 300-foot elevation gain and take approximately two hours round trip. Hot cocoa and snacks will be offered after the hike.
All Loon Echo hikes are free; however, donations are always welcome and will qualify donors for a one-year membership. Learn more by visiting www.loonecholandtrust.org. For more information about this hike, other Loon Echo events or to reserve snowshoes, contact Jon Evans at jon@lelt.org or call 207-647-4352.
