BRIDGTON — Loon Echo Land Trust will celebrate spring with the annual sunrise hike up Bald Pate Mountain in South Bridgton on Tuesday, March 20.
Wear appropriate warm clothing and boots, bring water, snacks, flashlight and snowshoes (a few pairs will be available upon request). Meet Loon Echo’s Jon Evans at 6 a.m. in the Bald Pate Mountain parking lot. Sunrise is at 6:43 and the moderate hike will take approximately two hours.
