Leader: Amy Barker
Date: Sunday, May 19, 2024, meet at 9:30 at the pull off near the gate to the Loop Road. (Mile Marker 0)
Difficulty and length in miles: This is about 1.5 miles of hiking, but is a gentle, non-strenuous hike that is perfect for all ages.
Description of the hike: Join Maine Master Naturalist, Amy Barker and hike the Esker Trail at mile 0 of the Loop Road (Just in case to gate is not open). We will start at the small parking area near the gate to the Loop Road. This is a family hike, so all ages are encouraged to attend! It should be a nice time to see some spring wildflowers and talk about some of the geology of the IAT. It’s a short hike so we will be done by lunch time!
What to bring: Bring warm clothes just in case, bug stuff, good footwear for the trail may be slippery in places, lunch, and water. Nature journals, art supplies, and a handout on nature journaling will be provided.
Limit: The number of people is limited to 8 total, so make sure to register in a timely manner.
