During Covid -19 take the Northern Gateway Hiking Challange!
The Center has helped the Northern Gateway Chamber of Commerce create a map and brochure to promote its new hiking challenge program, which the Chamber will formally launch at its annual meeting March 21.
The Northern Gateway Hiking Challenge is a collection of hikes in or near Lancaster, N.H., designed to highlight the town’s special location at the edge of the White Mountains and to encourage outdoor recreation. Download a PDF of the map and brochure.
Directions to all the Challenge hikes start from the Great North Woods Welcome Center at 25 Park Street in Lancaster, N.H. Participants can earn an award patch for completing the Challenge by submitting photographs of themselves at the top of each of the peaks. The Chamber will be distributing printed copies of the map and brochure.
Earn Your Award Patch It’s easy to earn your Northern Gateway Challenge Hiking patch! Just email us a photo of you and your companions at the peak of each Challenge. We’ll post the photos on social media and on our website. Help us keep track of your progress by naming each photo file you send us with your name, the peak and the date, using this format: “First_Last_Peak_Oct10_2018”. When you send your 5th photo, be sure to include your mailing address and we’ll send you a Northern Gateway Challenge Hiking award patch to wear with pride! We’ll also add your name to the list of people who have successfully completed the Challenge. Please send all email to: northerngatewaychamber@gmail.com.
