Join us for a family-friendly hike and scavenger hunt at Mt. Tom co-sponsored by the AMC Family Programs and the New England Scenic Trail. We will meet at the Visitor Center near the playground and will offer a slower paced walk up to Goat Peak, with a beautiful vista of the famous Oxbow. A second moderate hike will be offered that will take the New England Trail north to the same spot. (ap. 1 mile round trip for both) Returning to the playground pavilion, we will offer an art project that will display something you saw or felt on the adventure. We will also have snacks and lemonade available.
