Programs
Sunday, January 26th, 2-4pm. Rt 501 Parking Lot of the AT, Lancaster Avenue, Bethel, PA (40.512678, -76.344475)
Join BMECC and Berks Parks & Recreation Department in an out and back snowshoe adventure on the Appalachian Trail. Geared towards those with OR without snowshoe experience, BMECC member Adaiah Bauer and Parks Staff members will share tips, tricks, and equipment notes on snowshoeing on Pennsylvania trails during winter. This is a great introduction to this fun winter activity, and snowshoeing can be done by anyone able to hike but is considered a moderate activity on the uneven terrain of the AT. Bring your own snowshoes, or reserve a pair ahead of time (crest of Blue Mountain at the intersection of PA Route 501 and the Appalachian Trail). In the event of lack of adequate snowpack, we’ll hike on foot without snowshoes. Length of hike will depend on size and ability of the group.
