Description: If it's June, that must mean the mountain laurels are blooming! Join the Narragansett 20s and 30s for an after work hike at DuVal trail in South Kingstown. This trail is chock full of beautiful mountain laurel bushes towering above, and the trail is often speckled with the white and pink star-shaped blossoms. One of the more hilly trails in the southern part of the state, participants can expect comparatively moderate elevation, with single-track trails. About three miles into the hike there is sometimes the opportunity to observe Block Island from a lookout point, provided the trees are not obstructing the view.
Participants can expect to hike no more than 4 miles and roughly 400 ft of elevation on this rocky, rooted, winding trail.

We will keep a spirited pace in order to stretch your legs after working all day, and participants should be capable of maintaining a 2.5 mph hiking pace (24 minutes/mile) .
All participants must bring with them:

• Good boots or durable running sneakers
• 1 liter of water
• bug spray

Afterwards, participants are welcome to continue the social adventure at Mews Tavern in Wakefield. All participants will receive an email a day in advance with parking and weather details.
