New Snowmobile Trail on Bearpen
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 1:22 pm
While hiking on Vly and Bearpen on 10/10/10 I ran into a new Snowmobile Trail. This trail starts near the switchback near the Hunter's cabin and comes out on the trail just below the summit of Bearpen Mtn. The trail is about 10' wide. There is one place that is smaller. ATV's will not be able to use
Most of the trail is fairly flat, with the exception of one end which runs down a steep slope full of blue-stone slabs. The steep section with boulders doesn't seem like a good path for snowmobiles. But, it should be great for hikers. ATV's will not be able to use the path. Most of the path followed the old herd path. There is still a small section of the herd path for hikers.
Here are a couple of pictures:
