KEYSTONE TRAILS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL HIKING TRIP
Bermuda Afoot
January 10-16, 2026
Join KTA for another grand adventure. Enjoy a balmy winter getaway on the semi-tropical island of Bermuda before the crowds and cruise ships arrive. Best known for its crystal blue waters and charming architecture, the island also boasts the extensive Railway Trail, South Shore National Park, and other exploration-worthy parklands, affording approximately three to six miles of hiking each day.
From Baltimore, we fly direct to Bermuda – a short two-hour flight. A limo transports participants to lodging at The Sandpiper Guest Apartments in Warwick Parish. These studio units are equipped with a full kitchen and conveniently located along South Shore Road within a short walking distance of beaches, public transportation, restaurants, groceries, and the Railway Trail. There is also a swimming pool on the premises
The expedition includes easy, bucolic treks and plenty of time to savor the scenery, discover cultural sites, relish the pink beaches, and venture a refreshing swim or snorkel. The price of $2,995.00 includes a shuttle from Harrisburg to Baltimore (and return), round trip airfare, baggage fees, six nights lodging (double occupancy), ground transportation to and from various points on the island, guided outings, fees for select excursions, and a special farewell dinner.
Participation is limited to 12 people. Registration for the trip lottery opens August 8. Names will be drawn on September 2. Participants must be competent hikers in good physical condition.
