The Challenge is ideal for families looking for activities throughout summer vacation, and is just as fun for adults or couples who want to explore new areas. Anyone can register- you do not need to be a Hanover resident.

Registration is $6/person or $20/family of 4 or more. $2 from each registration will go towards trail maintenance in Hanover to support these special places.

 This summer’s challenge offers 8 hikes, 7 in Hanover and 1 located just “beyond our borders” in Lebanon.  After you register, you will receive a hiking guide* (available by June 11) with maps, directions, property descriptions, and hiking guidelines. Each hike has a special destination where you will find a wooden marker with an image for you to draw or identify in your hiking guide.

Complete 6 of 8 hikes by the end of September to be eligible for a raffle of prizes generously donated by the following local businesses: Gardener’s Supply, Hanover Adventure Tours, Umpleby’s Bakery & Cafe, Boloco, Sierra, Still North Books, Blue Sky Restaurant Group, Ramuntos, and The Nugget Theater.
