What to Bring: Hiking in the winter is a special experience but it does require thoughtful preparation. Please be sure you have appropriate clothing – good hats, mittens/gloves, and wind and water proof outer layers if possible. Trails can be slippery. All winter hikers should use poles and micro-spikes. BNRC can provide extra poles, microspikes and snowshoes if needed.
Cancellation: Winter weather may mean we can’t hike on a designated day. We will notify all registered hikers by 8:00 AM about changes. We will cancel if the actual or feels like temperature is 15 degrees or below. If a snowfall means snowshoeing is an option, we will send a notification by 8:00 AM. BNRC does have snowshoes to borrow if you don’t have your own.
