The Gnome Roam
A summer gnome hunt along the Pond Loop, right beside the Bear Byway.

← All things to do at SilverStar
Somewhere along the trails around Brewer’s Pond, SilverStar’s gnomes are hiding. The Gnome Roam is a summer hunt for little ones (and the grown-ups who secretly love it), right next to the Bear Byway on the Pond Loop.
How to find the start
Start at the Brewer’s Pond Base building. The village map sign beside it shows the Pond Loop, with marker 41, Gnome Roam, and marker 42, Bear Byway, side by side just below the pond.
Pair the two: count gnomes on the way round, then read the bear signs on the way back.
