We had no idea how quickly this event would fill and so will try to get a second tour with Nigel set up. Please email Gal ([email protected]) with the number of folks you’d like to add to the list, their names, and a phone number we can use to update you if need be. The website will be updated ASAP with a proposed date for a second tour. Thank you so much for your understanding and Happy New Year!
ACT is kicking off 2020’s winter ‘Shoes & Brews series on Saturday, January 11 from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. in Bethlehem! We’ll start with a very special hiking tour at The Rocks (owned by the Society for the Protection of NH Forests) on a trail not usually open to the public and then head up the hill for snacks, a warm-up and to raise a glass to the new year at Rek’-Lis Brewing.
The 'Shoes will start at 2:00 p.m. with a guided historic tour along the Mile Path, a trail usually off-limits to visitors. We’ll be led by The Rocks Manager, Nigel Manley, who will share some of the property’s fascinating history and point out some natural features along the way. The walk is an approx. 1.5-mile loop with about 200 feet of elevation gain; depending on snow conditions, plan on wearing snowshoes or light traction and bring trekking poles. All ages and abilities are welcome, but please leave your pups at home for this one.
From The Rocks we’ll head up the road to Rek’-lis Brewing on Main Street in downtown Bethlehem for the Brews to enjoy some light snacks and refreshments. Come to catch up with old friends and get to know new ones. All are welcome and free to come and go as needed. The Brews will officially run from 4:00 to about 5:30 p.m. but you're invited to stay and enjoy the delicious dinner fare at Rek’-Lis.
ACT is delighted to be partnering with the Rocks and the Society for the Protection of NH Forests on the ‘Shoes and with Rek’-Lis Brewing on the Brews. A big thanks to them for being such great collaborators and friends to ACT and the community!
Registration for the ‘Shoes at the Rocks is required and is strictly limited to 15 participants, so please be sure to register ASAP as the hike will fill up quickly. Registration for the Brews is not required but is very much appreciated to help organizers plan accordingly. Registration closes at noon on Friday, January 10.
Not able to make it to both portions? We'd love to see you at either please just leave a note in the registration to let us know so we can plan accordingly. If you're only coming to Rek’-lis, please bring a friend(s)!
