Biblical texts describe the town of Bethel as a royal city of the Canaanites, which may explain its low standing in the Old Testament. The prophet Amos is said to have made Bethel his central location for his prophetic ministry. As the Israelites converged on Jerusalem, the town waned in importance, and it became a major center of idol worship in the northern kingdom. The New Testament does not mention Bethel at all, but it is still an important site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular waterfall in the area is Wight Brook, a long series of steep cascades. This attraction is accessible by hiking up the right side of the waterfall. Parking under the pine trees is located just eight miles from Bethel. From there, it is a short hike to the base of the falls. Visitors should bring plastic drinking containers for the water that falls at the bottom. In addition, it is best to carry all of your belongings, including a camera, to ensure your safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The river path in Bethel begins at Davis Park and continues eastward, crossing the Alder Stream and Intervale Road. The path continues on crushed stone and across the Mahoosuc Land Trust Gateway property. From there, it connects to the upper portion of Sunset Road. It was initially a town project, but it has been expanded to include many other uses. Despite the fact that it’s a popular trail, some people find it difficult to access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scenic trail winds around the Bethel University campus, passing through oak savannah and the littoral zone of Lake Valentine. It also passes through groves of conifer trees planted by Rus Johnson, as well as a tall grass prairie. All of these places provide a wonderful opportunity for outdoor activities. A beautiful, scenic hike through the wooded hills of the Mount Will Trail is located just 1.9 miles west of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bethel Pathway is divided into two sections. You can start and end your walk at Davis Park or any of the trailheads in the city. The path is flat and easy to navigate, and the trail is close to homes, businesses, and roads. A 4.5 mile loop is the recommended distance to reach Bethel. If you’re planning to hike in Bethel, make sure to check out the maps and reviews of trails in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beautiful trail is worth the visit. A trail in Bethel has several trails, including a paved one. The pathway follows roads that are very convenient for people with mobility issues. The Bethel Pathway is also close to homes, business, and historic sites. Therefore, a walk in this region is a must for anyone interested in walking and nature. If you are not comfortable with public transportation, the pathway is not for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
