Slim Baker Self-Guided Nature Trail

This self-guided nature trail follows two established trails at Slim Baker, starting on the Stephens Trail (orange blazes), near the Slim Baker Lodge, and connecting to the Greenan Trail (yellow blazes), near the back of the summit, making a loop back to the parking area. The trail requires approximately an hour to walk and can be completed either clock-wise or counter clock-wise. Starting from the Stephens trail, you will gain approximately 160 feet of elevation to the top. From the Greenan trail, you will gain approximately 180 feet. All trails require suitable footwear for some places of rough and steep terrain.

 

The natural features covered in this guide have been limited to those seen in most seasons, however, in proper season, look for the many flowers, birds, insects, and other wildlife which makes their home in the Slim Baker Area. To help you observe birds and other animals that frequent the area, it is suggested you bring binoculars and perhaps a bird or wildlife identification guide. We ask that you follow the guidelines for "HikeSafe", a program of the New Hampshire Fish and Game department. You can find more information on the HikeSafe Program Here!
