Windmill Hill Pinnacle Association's Bald Hill Hike November 8

posted Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Get to know another interesting trail system on a guided hike offered by the Windmill Hill Pinnacle Association [WHPA] on Saturday November 8 from 2 to 4 PM. This free activity will introduce nature lovers to a marvelous regional resource: the combined trail system on the Rockingham/Westminster lands of the 50-acre WHPA Bald Hill Reserve and the 200 acres of the Bellows Falls Union High School, which has more land than any other public high school in Vermont! Randy Major, a member of both the Bald Hill Committee of the Pinnacle Association and the WHPA Board, will lead this moderate jaunt to familiarize hikers with the combined trail system and to give them a close-up view of Twin Falls from the infrequently visited south side of the Saxtons River. Hikers will also walk up one side of Bald Hill and down the other, taking in views of the nearby Village and distant Mount Ascutney forty miles north.

Participants should dress warmly and bring water. Hikers should meet at 232 Covered Bridge Road in North Westminster, and contact Randy Major at 802-387-5737 for information and registration. A visit to www.windmillhillpinnacle.org will yield a map indicating the trailheads and information about other upcoming Pinnacle programs.
