Let's enjoy a hike through Theo Wirth park for some new trails and new sights. We'll hike through the park for a total of about 5.5- 6 miles. The pace will be about a 16:00 - 16:30 minute mile. Dogs are welcome. They must be on a leash and the owner must pick up after them, if necessary.
We'll meet in the parking lot adjacent to Wirth Lake Beach in front of the pavilion.
After the hike we can go to Utepils Brewing which is close by (address is 225 Thomas Ave N, Mpls, MN 55045) and socialize with our fellow hikers. For socializing, it is recommended to bring a dry shirt to change into after the hike. It helps to prevent chills from being warm hiking to cooling down while socializing.
Things to know for hiking:
1. Dress in layers. It may be cool at the start, but you will warm up while hiking. Layers allows you to remove a layer, if needed.
2. Bring a headlamp - in case. The days are longer & have more light, but there are trees & it will starting to get dark at the end.
3. Decent shoes. It isn't any fun to end up with a blister preventing hiking for a bit, or having your legs/feet hurt at the end of the hike.
4. There may, or may not, be mud as it is mostly dirt trails.
As a precaution for every event, please do not leave valuables in your car. There has been an uptick in car break-ins around the Twin Cities and it isn't worth it.
Please keep your RSVP updated. It is difficult to know if the leaders should wait for someone (in case traffic is bad) when they may not be planning to go at all. Keeping your RSVP updated is the polite thing to do, and we are Minnesota NICE :) If you are sick, please update your RSVP to not going. No one wants to get sick.
By signing up and attending the hike, you agree to take personal responsibility for anything that may happen and hold the event hosts & leaders harmless from injury.
Hope to see you there!
