TYPE: Walk | PACE: Moderate | TERRAIN: Dirt & Rocky Trail | DISTANCE: Approx. 3 miles.

Join us for a beautiful spring walk on the Heil Valley Ranch Overland Loop Trail, one of the Front Range’s classic foothill hikes. This route winds through rolling grasslands, pine forest, and rocky ridgelines with expansive views of the surrounding hills and plains. We will be meeting at the Heil Valley Trailhead at 9:00 AM.

Expect a steady but manageable climb, uneven terrain in sections, and plenty of opportunities to stop, chat, and take in the scenery. This is a grea time to get to see some wildflowers!

Post-walk/lunch stop: After the hike, we’ll head back to Longmont for lunch at Anchan Thai. Expect rich curries, noodle dishes, refreshing iced teas, and a well-earned meal after a solid morning on the trail.

### How to Prepare:

Please bring plenty of water, sturdy shoes or hiking boots, sunscreen, and layers for changing mountain weather. The trail has rocky and uneven sections, so trekking poles are welcome if you like extra support. We’ll be starting relatively early to take advantage of cooler temperatures and lighter trail traffic. Snacks are always encouraged.

Journaling and Deep Sharing Session. Lagerman Reservoir

Tue, May 19 · 18:30 MDT

Lagerman Reservoir, 6722-7160 Pike Rd, Longmont, co, US

## Details

TYPE: Walk + Guided Journaling | PACE: Leisurely | TERRAIN: gravel and dirt | DISTANCE: Approx. 1 mile or less

Join us for a reflective evening at Lagerman Reservoir as we go through a guided journaling and sharing session. We'll do a quick loop around the open parts of Lagerman Afterwards we will settle on the benches by the shore to journal, share, and see the sunset come in. Lagerman has a new amazing area by the shore with a lot of benches, I still recommend bringing a blanket if possible.

The session will include:

• A 5-minute warm-up prompt to start journaling
• A 20-minute focused journaling session for introspection
• Partner sharing to practice active listening and share.

This walk is designed to foster vulnerability, clarity, and deeper conversations. Everyone can share as much as they want, but we will have a long share session with a partner based around being vulnerable. Please keep in mind.

Post-walk: We encourage lingering on the lawn after the session. Bring a blanket or camp chair if you’d like to stay longer or continue the conversation. Bring picnic snacks to share!
