Bear Den Picnic Hike

pack To understand Whiteface from the bottom up, take a guided hike to the top of Bear Den Mountain. You'll set off from the Kids Kampus, climbing 1,400 feet along a 3.2-mile trail. With your knowledgeable guide pointing out native trees and describing the mountain's natural history, you'll learn all about the plants and wildlife found in the Adirondacks—and log some good exercise, to boot. At the top: a picnic lunch and majestic views of the Ausable River Valley, Whiteface Ski Resort and the quaint town of Wilmington, home to some of the best trout fishing in the Northeast.

The hike will take a total of about 3.5 hours, roundtrip. Food will be included, as will a limited-edition Whiteface High Sierra hydration pack (retail value $100). Be sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes. This is considered a moderate-level hike and is recommended for adults and children 12 and over.
