Let's hike at Peace Park. IMPORTANT: The address is 8900 Grand River. Ada.

Let's hike this cool trail.

Very impt: We're starting at the Grand River trailhead - NOT Bolt Dr.

If you Google the name (Cascade Peace Park) and get 8900 Grand River Dr SE, that's where we're meeting.

If you Google the name and get Bolt Dr, do NOT go to that trailhead.

Click on the map that comes up when you Google it. If you move the map around, you'll see both trailheads marked. We're meeting at the one on Grand River.

I start on Grand River because there is a porta potty at that address.

We'll go out and hike for an hour. I take breaks about every 20 minutes or so and/or every time we get to the top of a steep hill. I call those "catch your breath" breaks.

PLEASE BRING THIS TRAIL UP ON ALL TRAILS BEFORE YOU GET TO THE TRAILHEAD. Yes, I'm leading the hike, but something might come up, and you might need to get back to the parking lot on your own.

ALSO, MOST TRAILHEADS HAVE POOR SERVICE. If you wait till you arrive at the hike, you probably won't be able to access the trail on AllTrails.

We'll hike for an hour, figure out where we are, take a snack break, and hike back to the starting point.

We'll hike about 5 miles total at a 2.5 mph pace.

If you've never gone on a organized hike before, please give us a try. Hiking is for everyone. There are groups for everyone. You just need to find out where you fit in. Hike your own hike.

If you have questions, pls text me at 616 446 8102. I'll have a white Honda Pilot. If you've never been to this location before, please give yourself a few extra minutes. If you're running late, pls text me. We can wait a few minutes.

By the way: I recommend hiking poles and water on every hike. Peace Park is VERY hilly, so poles are HIGHLY recommended.

I also have a FB group: West Michigan Hikers. I ALWAYS post there. I TRY and also post in this MeetUp group.
