Winter Adaptations at Grand Lake Stream Tower Hill Trail
How do the wintry conditions of the Grand Lake Stream region influence the things that live here? Find out on this easy-moderate hike. We’ll look for tracks and scat, plants with and without leaves, and more to discover the winter resilience of Maine living things. *Snowshoes available by request and as needed.* More information about the trail here.
Bring warm winter layers, including waterproof, insulated boots. As a base layer, long johns (wool or synthetic) are recommended under bulky, warm mid-layers and water- and windproof outer layers, including mittens/gloves and a hat. Bring a comfortable backpack to carry extra layers and water in. Questions about how to prepare? Just ask!
