Sugarloaf docent Galen Freed-Wilhem leads in this easy 2-mile hike in search of snakes, lizards, and other wildlife. We'll start off with a 20-minute presentation inside the Robert Ferguson Observatory classroom and then hike Lower Bald Mountain and Creekside Nature Trails, whose habitats is preferred by these species.
Meet inside the Robert Ferguson Observatory. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $5 for students, youth (12-17 year olds), Sugarloaf members, Sugarloaf or RFO volunteers, and free for children under 12. All children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Wear appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes, bring layers, a flashlight, at least a quart of water, and if desired, a snack. Parking fees apply.
Ease of access: The White Barn parking lot has one van-accessible designated parking spot, one accessible porta-potty, and potable water access near the information kiosk. There is a flat, paved 1/4-mile road from the parking area to the observatory. The Robert Ferguson Observatory classroom is wheelchair-accessible by a wooden ramp and deck. The Lower Bald Mountain Trail has two trailheads: one to the left of the Observatory, and one at the main parking lot. The section from the Observatory is a single-track trail with sections of dirt, some sections of gravel, switchbacks, steps, and a cumulative elevation gain of 54ft. The Creekside Nature Trail is ADA-compliant from the main parking lot to the White Barn parking lot, about 0.48mi.
