LGBTQ+ ACCESSIBLE SPRING HIKE AT DISTANT HILL NATURE TRAIL

Join Richard Doherty (he, him) and Hunter Kirschner (he, they) for an LGBTQ+ community hike at Distant Hill Nature Trail. Our 2-mile route will take us along smooth gravel trails featuring gentle grades where we'll explore vernal pools, a geolgy trail, and a boardwalk over a quaking bog. Service pets are welcome. Bring a snack and water, and come prepared for spring conditions, including insects.

We'll meet at Distant Hill Gardens at 507 March Hill Road in Walpole, NH, which is located 200 feet west of the parking area for Distant Hill Nature Trail at 66 March Hill Road, Alstead.
