ALBANY — In yet another example of the Mount Washington Valley’s growing achievement of making nature and the outdoors accessible to all, and right on the heels of Tuesday’s ribbon-cutting for the 2.9-mile-long paved North Conway Rec Path, a second grand opening is set for the end of this month for the compact gravel surfaced wheelchair-accessible nature trail in the Lori Jean Kinsey Arboretum and Sanctuary on the grounds of the Tin Mountain Conservation Center off Bald Hill Road.
Set for Sept. 30 from 10 a.m.-noon, the event is scheduled to include tours of the winding, sceni,c 1.2-mile-long, trail with remarks from stakeholders at the Kendal C. and Anna Ham Charitable Foundation Pavilion along with refreshments.
