Yoga Hike (Rating: D)

You must read the following NVHC Sign-in Sheet Statement/Liability Disclaimer, https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf and then answer the question that you will see when you RSVP with "I accept" to be permitted on the hike.

Namaste! Join us for our first Yoga Hike at Burke Lake. No experience necessary. We'll do 15-20 minute of pre-hike stretches (with boots and poles), enjoy a mindful 5 mile walk around Burke Lake, then return to do 15-20 minutes of post-hike stretches (a towel or mat will be needed). NVHC hiker Cindy H. will be leading the yoga portion of this event. Cindy is a yoga instructor at the YMCA in Estes Park, CO. Pace will be between 2.5-3mph.

DIRECTIONS: We will meet at the parking lot near the Marina. Enter the park at the Burke Lake Park Entrance on Ox Road (Route 123). If using a GPS to find the park, just key in "Burke Lake Park." More directions are below. After entering the park, go straight through the entrance and follow the road as it curves to the right. You will pass a tiny parking area on your right. Keep going until you see a large parking lot adjacent to the Marina. We'll meet in the upper lot. Please plan to arrive by 8:45am so we can get everyone checked in and start at 9am.

RESTROOMS: There are restrooms at the Marina.

DOG POLICY: No dogs on this hike.

PARK FEE: None

HIKE LEADER: Kris N. 618-623-2484
