🌸Monica’s Walk: Awareness Hike for Missing Hiker Monica Reza 🌸
On June 22, 2025, our dear friend and fellow hiker Monica Reza set out on a hike with two friends. She made it to the summit of Waterman Peak, but never returned to the designated meetup location.
For the past three months, her family, friends, and the hiking community have tirelessly searched. We continue to hold onto hope and believe that together, we can bring more awareness to Monica’s disappearance.
✨ About the Event:
Monica’s Walk will retrace the path Monica hiked that day. This will be a powerful moment for the community to:
