Late Afternoon Hike & Pray: Boulder River Trail (easy/moderate - just long)

📅 Tuesday, May 27 | 🕔 5:00 PM
📍 Boulder River Trailhead (Near Arlington/Darrington, WA)
Brief meet & greet / carpool/caravan- 4:05 PM in Arlington, across from Arlington Hardware & Lumber (parking lot).

Let’s spend a peaceful evening on the Boulder River Trail—walking through lush forest, listening to the river’s song, and pausing to take in the beauty of the waterfall. This is a time to recharge, reflect, and share good conversation as we hike together into the golden hour.
We’ll hike at a relaxed, comfortable pace and return to the trailhead before sunset (around 9:00 PM). At some point on the trail, when the moment feels right, we’ll pause to pray with and for one another—offering encouragement, support, and gratitude in the stillness of nature.
Come solo or bring a friend—everyone is welcome.
