FOR WINTER HIKES
Want exercise, scenery and a cure for cabin fever? Lace up your boots and head for one of these locales in and around Bergen.
It’s a good thing January isn’t trying to be June; it’d fall on its face. But this cold month has its own glories, and many of them are best experienced in a place you may have forgotten about lately—a place called outdoors. Don’t pick a blizzard or a sub-zero day, of course, if you’re thinking of checking out that zone. And don’t fail to be suitably wrapped. But if you venture out, you’ll find that beauty is a year-round phenomenon in our area’s parks and woodlands. A hike through them can not only break your hibernation and get your heart rate going; it can also offer you a different perspective on familiar landscapes. (And think of the cup of hot chocolate that awaits when you’re back inside!) On these pages is a guide to several hiking spots in and around Bergen that are ideal for a winter hike. Adventure beckons—enjoy!
