Glenwood Dunes, Moderate Woodland Hike
Details
Time 1pm CT 2pm ET
This is a nice hike through the woods. We should be sheltered from the wind.
Difficulty:
Moderate. The total distance is about 4 miles, and the trail is seldom steep, usually narrow, and has some roots. Some parts are paved.
Winter Weather Warning
Hiking automatically involve risks from weather, trail conditions. This is especially true in winter.
The winter wind can powerfully chill. Be prepared to bundle up more than you think you will need to. And dress with layers that you can remove / unzip / open, as the hike starts to warm you up.
