What we’re about
This is a hiking group for people who, like me, take life at a slow and steady pace. I love the outdoors, travel and hiking. Like the tortoise, I keep a steady pace and always get there in the end. Hikes will be mostly medium-length ( 2 - 6 miles) with elevation gains of under 1500 feet and a pace of book time +50%. Older people who have slowed down, younger folks who are just starting out, people who are overweight and want to get moving, people who are recovering from an injury, people who occasionally like to stop and take pictures or smell the roses...anyone who wants to take things at a slower pace. Hikes and other events take place all year round and in various locations!

Nature Walk at Capen Hill in Charlton
Capen Hill Nature Sanctuary, 56 Capen Rd, Charlton, MA, USSunday’s weather says plenty of sunshine and low 50s! Come walk in a beautiful nature sanctuary for an hour or so! Fairly easy trails, but please wear decent shoes and dress in layers. I always use hiking poles. Bring water and a snack. Leashed dogs allowed. Kids welcome. (If you are bringing a kid or two, please do not list them as guests, but mention in the comments.)
NOTE: Capen Road is right off Route 20 in Charlton. There’s a sign at the entrance. Park at the Visitor Center, NOT the first parking lot.
Read more about the Nature Sanctuary and get a trail map HERE.
We can head over to Treehouse Brewery after our walk!
🐢 Tortoises roam free (and always will!) but MeetUp still charges a fee! If you’d like to contribute, here’s where you can send a donation! Thanks!
