Full Moon Snowshoe Hike

The public is invited to join members of the Chester Conservation Committee on Saturday, February 11, 2017 at 7pm for a guided "Full Moon" snowshoe hike. The CCC is sponsoring this event to introduce hikers to our organization and to share the beauty of the Green Mountain Union HS Nature Trail. Last spring we sponsored a guided hike on this town treasure and now it's time to break out the snowshoes for a Full Moon snowshoe hiking experience. Whether you are new to snowshoes or an experienced hiker, this guided hike experience is sure to be interesting and fun.

The GMUHS Nature Trail is located behind GMUHS. From the town Green, head southeast on Main Street. Main Street turns into Route 103S. Continue for 0.7 miles. The High School will be on your right. On the HS driveway, bear left to reach the rear of the school.

The Trail Head is accessed by crossing a narrow, wooden footbridge near the lower soccer field looking left into the woods and is clearly marked.

Trail length is 1.8 miles, of moderate difficulty, and depending on conditions, will take about one hour to hike.

Depending upon the snow conditions, snowshoes or boots with traction cleats (yaktraxs) would be appropriate for this hike. A headlamp or flashlight is also recommended but not required.

The Chester Conservation Committee is proud to sponsor this free, community event to showcase Trails in Chester.
