Join Skowhegan Outdoors for a family-friendly hike up Sanders Hill in the Kennebec Highlands Conserved Land in Rome, Maine! On this hike, participants can expect a gradual hike on a loop trail to the summit and a rewarding view once we get there. The total loop is approximately 3 miles and could take up to 5 hours depending on the speed of our all-ages group. This program is appropriate for all ages and abilities, but participants should be comfortable moving for 3-5 hours on uneven terrain, outdoors, and uphill for half of the hike. 

Skowhegan Outdoors facilitators will call participants before this program to ensure preparedness. Please arrive at the MSS office 15 minutes early to check in. We will leave promptly at 9 a.m..

Weather in April can be unpredictable. Please dress warmly in plenty of wool or synthetic layers, wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, bring water, snacks, a substantial lunch, and wear a face mask. You will have the opportunity to request warm clothing and microspikes should you need them ahead of time through our community gear library.
