This program was previously scheduled for Thursday, June 6 and has been postponed due to weather.

Come learn some easy tools to jump start our month-long Hike Barnstable celebration. As a BLT partner, Appalachian Mountain Club’s Southeastern MA chapter will be doing a brief tutorial and 4 mile hike in the Eagle Pond conservation area in Cotuit. This FREE event will be approximately 2 hours in length. The tutorial will provide an introduction on how to use a trail map and/or trail app to map out a hike or keep track of where you are from the start of the hike. If you plan to use an app, please download AllTrails on your phone prior to the hike. After the tutorial, we will take a hike around Eagle Pond and a white cedar swamp which will allow participants to use their new skills. The hike will be on flat wooded trails with lots of uneven terrain. Participants must wear sturdy shoes/sneakers or ideally hiking footwear, no sandals. Hiking poles will be useful but not required. Bring fluids for hydration. This is a registration required event limited to 20 participants. To register for this hike just click the Register Now link on the posting which will be active two weeks before the event. You will have to create a username and password if you do not have one. This program is part of Hike Barnstable which is supported in part by Cape Cod Healthcare. NOTE:  You do not need to be an AMC member to participate.
