What we’re about

"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished" - Lao Tzu.

We start hiking early morning...hike 4 to 6 smooth, comfortable and ‘friendly’ miles...always at a slower, mellow clip... and we pause often.

If all this sounds like your ideal hiking style, please consider joining.

Let’s all enjoy the great outdoors together....only at a softer pace.
