YOUR GUIDE:
Kate is a lifelong nature lover and hiker. She loves sharing the natural world with others and guiding others in doing the same.
Kevin is a community organizer and green druid. He enjoys connecting others, and creating space for them to connect with themselves.
HIKE DETAILS: We will start the hike promptly at 9:15am, so please arrive at 9am for a short meet and greet. There's plenty of parking but as the morning goes on it can get filled up.
We will take our time and enjoy and admire nature. We will discover how hiking with others in nature can enhance health and help reduce stress in mind, body and soul in ways that will prepare us to live everyday life in more wholehearted way.
For a general description of the trail, see:
MEETING PLACE: In the main parking lot by the trailhead. Kate will be by her silver Camry.
COST: There is a $10 fee to enter the park so bring cash or a card (which should work).
WHAT TO BRING: Wear sturdy trail shoes and bug spray. Bring plenty of water - much more than you think you will need - The rule of thumb is 1 liter for every 2 hours. Bring snacks and dress for the weather.
You may wish to bring hiking poles - we will have relatively steep ascent at the start.
