About this outing
You are invited to come see wide variety of spring wildflowers at HTL's Bear’s Den Preserve near Cherry Plain. This is a perfect hike to see wildflowers, including uncommon species and rich woods specialists, at their best. Bear’s Den was known to early settlers and you can still see evidence of their visits here; porcupine and bobcat are known to use the cave today. Leaders will help us identify the flowers we see.

What to expect & what to bring
This is a moderately strenuous hike. The walk will be about two miles round trip to the cave and back,
but the first half is almost all uphill, including two steep hills. Please bring water and a snack and wear weather-appropriate layers and footwear. 

About the outing leaders
Tom Phillips and Nick Conrad are long-time members of Hudson Taconic Lands, and both have a deep interest in the natural areas of Rensselaer County.
