About

Mar 27, 2023

Join me on a trail Hadley and I found in the past, but now I have the opportunity to hike. The Norwegian Ridge Birding and Hiking Trail has 3 options for length of 1. 2 and 3 mile loops on a self guided bird watching informative trail.

Park in the parking lot of Red's IGA and head east to the trail head map.

More info about the trail can be found here.
