Hill Climbing and Happy hour at Hyland Hills Ski Area

Lets train together for upcoming backpacking adventures on the ski hills at Hyland Park in Bloomington. We can talk gear, trips, and backpacking skills while we hike!

We'll hike loops on the hills for 1.5 hours. Hike at your own pace, all skill levels welcome. Leave early if you need to. Many of us will train with our weighted backpacks.

After the hill climb, we will walk over to the ski chalet where the park has happy hour on Wednesday evenings. There's usually some alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, live music, etc.

Parking: There is plenty of free parking in this area.

Recommend to bring: Water, high-energy snack, dress according to weather

The usual: No Kids, No Dogs, No +1's: Only registered members may attend.

This event is jointly hosted by Minneapolis/Saint-Paul backpackers meetup and Hardy hikers meetup group so there will be more attendees than what you see here. Please signup on only one event.

Important: ### By signing up for this hike, you assume all responsibility for your safety and well-being and release Hardy hikers and Minneapolis/Saint-Paul backpackers, organizers, events organizers, and members from any (and all) personal injury and property damage
