THE PERSEID METEOR SHOW @ Mt Ascutney State Park

 

Watch the best meteor shower of the year in the big open sky above the haze.  Bring a blanket or reclining chair to watch one of nature’s beautiful events.  We’ll settle in the parking lot at the end of the road.  There will be an optional short, night hike to the observation platform, for which head lamps or flashlights are required.  The rain date is Monday, August 12th.

 

The toll road closes for up-hill traffic at 8:15pm so be sure to be on your way up by then.  Everyone must leave the top by 10:00 at the latest, camping or overnight parking is not allowed.

 

THE CRYSTAL CASCADE ON THE WEATHERSFIELD TRAIL @ Mt Ascutney SP

After Hurricane Debby’s rain on Saturday, we may have a great opportunity to see the Crystal Cascade at its best. Hike and explore the old Weathersfield Trail to the bottom of the amazing Crystal Cascade Falls.   The trail then makes a short but tricky climb up the side to the top of the falls.  We will return to the parking lot on the new Weathersfield Trail. 2.5 miles. Moderate to difficult. Meet at the Weathersfield Trailhead at 11am.
