Reflect on the Spring Solstice by spending time being present, surrounded by nature. Join Constance Woodworth from WorthIt Nature and Forest Therapy Connections on a slow, mindful walk on The Mountain Trail. This walk is intended as a way to slow down, bring attention to the senses, and experience the environment with deeper connection.

Trail Description

The hike will start at The Mountain Trailhead and head north on the Main Trail for approximately 0.5 miles. At that point we will turn west onto the Long Pond Loop where we will pause for tea and a moment of reflection. We will then continue the Long Pond Loop back to the Main Trail and head south back to the parking lot. The approximate total distance for this hike is 1.6 miles.

Trailhead Directions:

Approximately one mile north of Belgrade Lakes Village on Route 27, turn east onto Mountain Drive; a parking area is located at 0.3 miles on the left (north) side of Mountain Drive. Look for a blue sign with the trail name and 7 Lakes Alliance logo.
