The Westerly Land Trust invites you to come explore Glacier Park’s landscape carved by enormous glaciers during the last ice age with hike leader, Donna Anderson. The glaciers left behind kettle ponds, kettle holes and huge boulders which are all explained on the educational sign along the trails.

This hike is moderate level due to hills and uneven, rocky footing.
So all hikers should be sure to wear shoes appropriate for natural conditions that may include rocks, roots and mud along the paths. In warmer months, come prepared with insect repellant for your comfort and for prevention of Lyme Disease.
