MVHC President's Column by Bill Simmons
Hiking experiences during the summer months, as in all season’s of the year, can be in many forms. As I have previously written, Karen and I spend much of our hiking time with chain saws, brush cutters, etc to clean the trails for our pleasure and enjoyment of all who like to walk on trails. There are many options available during the summer months which many may not have experienced in the past. To remain viable year round many ski areas have developed hiking trails and invite people to enjoy them during the summer months. Bosquet hosts hikers and mountain bikers; Oak Mountain also has hiking and mountain biking trails; Belleayre adds gondola rides and disc golf to their offerings; Bolton Valley has hiking trails, free Wednesday evening concerts, mountain biking and mountain biking camps during the summer months. Add these options to the public trails available in both NY and VT and there are any number of ways to keep moving, experience our beautiful Northeast scenery, and breath some fresh air.
