The Big 5 Hike

Join a park interpreter for a big, 5-mile hike on Mount Magazine! Hiking in some of the same steps of people dating as far back as the 1800s, participants will experience the pure mountain air, the breathtaking views and spectacular nature that has drawn everyone from early settlers, farmers, entrepreneurs and countless tourists to Mount Magazine. This hike will start at the North Rim trailhead by the visitor center, continue on the Mossback
Ridge Trail, and conclude with the Greenfield Trail which will return to the visitor center. Seasonally appropriate attire, drinking water, sturdy hiking shoes, insect repellent, and sunscreen (although this hike is very shaded), are all highly recommended for this moderate-strenuous 5-mile hike.
