We are so excited about this year’s Ridgeline Hike & Reception at Barnes Camp with a reception at Spruce Camp at Stowe Resorts on Friday, October 4 from noon – 4:00 p.m.

This year we will be offering three hikes:

Sterling Pond – a 2.3-mile moderately steep hike up to Sterling Pond to see the work the Long Trail Patrol has accomplished this year and enjoy the view of the pond. (This group will meet at 12:00pm at the Barnes Camp Visitor Center and carpool up to the parking lot.)
Barnes Camp Loop – this 1.5-mile loop features an accessible boardwalk, excellent views of wetlands and cliffs, a short stream crossing, and a steep climb and descent. (This group will meet at 12:30pm at the Barnes Camp Visitor Center.)
Barnes Camp Boardwalk – enjoy this beautiful accessible boardwalk that will take you out into the beaver dam/wetland area with an incredible view of Smugglers’ Notch. There are also informational signs about the history of the area, the history of the wetlands, the ecological benefits of the wetland area. (This group will meet at 1:00pm at the Barnes Camp Visitor Center.)
