LOCKE MILLS — If you are looking for something different to do on Father’s Day, the Mahoosuc Land Trust invites you to take Dad for a hike on Sunday, June 18, to explore the Greenwood Ice Caves. Interested participants will meet at the parking lot near the Locke’s Mills Post Office, 268 N Main St, at 2 p.m. to car-pool to the trail.
These caves are a talus formation, a remnant from glaciers that broke up rock slopes many thousands of years ago. They hold snow into the summer months.
In the 1970s, the Bethel Chamber of Commerce billed exploring the ice caves as an iconic activity, making this a fitting adventure for the Land Trust’s year of lifting up iconic places around us.
The route to the caves begins as a gentle walk and ends with some moderate uphill scrambling. Please wear sturdy shoes and come prepared with water and insect repellent. Whether you come with Dad or on your own, all are invited to join this adventure.
