Tips & Advice
- Arrive at the start time on your ticket, because your trail pass may be forfeited if you show up at a different time.
- Wear boots and dress warm, since the hike is a full mile outdoors on an uneven woodchip trail through woods and farmland.
- Leave the stroller at home and plan to carry little ones, because the trail isn't stroller or wheelchair friendly.
- Don't buy tickets for kids 10 and under, since they're free and don't need one; tickets for everyone else are non-refundable.
- Keep your household close together on the trail, because children must stay within arm's length of an adult the whole way.
Special Events & Promotions
- New this year: the Bethlehem Marketplace after the hike, with hot chocolate, a photo booth, and gifts and décor for sale.
