OLLI at BCC and BNRC Joint Hike - Bob’s Way, Monterey

OLLI at BCC and Berkshire Natural Resources Council (BNRC) Joint Hike

Wednesday, March 11 at 1:30 p.m.
Bob’s Way, Monterey

Join us for this hike in Monterey.  Rated moderate, the hike is a loop with a wonderful beaver pond, the most unusual dedicated bench on the BNRC properties, and magnificent views to the east and north.  Beautiful bedrock faces are covered in icicles and the frozen ponds make beaver sightings more likely.   Plan on two and a half hours for this hike.

OLLI at BCC and the BNRC are offering joint hikes this winter. These hikes are free for OLLI at BCC and BNRC members.  You must register in advance and space is limited.

Hiking in the winter is a special experience but it does require thoughtful preparation.  Please be sure you have appropriate clothing – good hats, mittens/gloves, and wind and water proof outer layers if possible.  Trails can be slippery.  All winter hikers should use poles and micro-spikes.  If you don’t have poles and/or micro-spikes, let us know and we can borrow some from BNRC. 

Winter weather may mean we can’t hike on a designated day.  We will notify all registered hikers by 8:00 AM about changes.  We will cancel if the actual or feels like temperature is 15 degrees or below.  If a snowfall means snowshoeing is an option, we will send a notification by 8:00 AM.  BNRC does have snowshoes to borrow if you don’t have your own.

All hikes will begin at 1:30.

Registration will open on Monday, February 23 at 9 a.m.
