Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, ~5 Miles Easy to Moderate, Stonecrest

Join me if you can at Arabia Nature Preserve, to inhale the beauty, one of my favorite places this time of year, everything's poppin: diamorpha (red stuff), lichens, mosses, daisies and more!

We'll hike a 4-5 mile loop that includes an enchanting forest, Arabia Lake, small waterfall, outcrops, Klondike Spur (boardwalk) and the grand finale -- the Summit (Arabia's mountain top), end time a guesstimate, please be flexible.

Meet at the kiosk near the Nature Ctr/Ranger's Office a few minutes before 11a, head out after brief intros. End time is a guesstimate, please allow for some flexibility.

My hiking style is small group, slow/steady (approx 2 mph), break if needed, and we start, hike & finish together. Please leave your furry 4-legged loved ones at home.

BE ADVISED, THIS HIKE LEANS TOWARDS MODERATE DUE TO THE GRANITE (SLIPPERY WHEN WET!!), we'll also be hiking on dirt with exposed roots & rocks and paved paths. Trekking poles welcome.

Pls refer to AllTrails for add'l info to gauge your skillset compatibility.
