Butterflies, Dragonflies & Summer Flowers

After the year’s rain, it’s butterfly and dragonfly season. Join Naturalist, John Lynch, on this 5-mile guided nature hike, with approximately 800 feet of elevation gain. We’ll be looking up rather than down to discover what’s flying around, learning a little about creek, pond and meadow habitats. Our route will explore the Lower Bald Mountain Trail to look for summer wildflowers and over to the Vista Trail to a small pond/marsh for butterflies and dragonflies with return via Meadow Trail and a short over and back to the butterfly crossing at Rattlesnake Creek.

Tickets are $15 for general admission, $7.5 for students, youth (12-17 year olds), Sugarloaf members, Sugarloaf volunteers, and free for children under 12. Meet at the White Barn parking area. Bring at least a quart of water, sun protection, butterfly and wildflower guides (if you have them), and if desired, a snack. Rain cancels. Rain cancels. Parking fees apply.
