🌅Monday Sunset Hike @ Richardson Nature Ctr-Bloomington

Let’s get out and enjoy the balmy temps in the 40s on Monday with a winter sunset hike on the trails at Richardson Nature Center/Hyland Park Reserve!

THE HIKE: Plan to hike about 4 miles in 1 ½ - 2 hours at a medium pace (19-20 minute mile). The terrain is uneven and varies with some stretches of pavement, rocks, roots, loose gravel, snow, ice, mud and dirt. There are some rolling hills.
Grippers and/or poles are recommended due to anticipated packed snow , slush and ice on the trail. Sunset is around 5:30pm, so plan to bring a headlamp or flashlight, if you need it for low light conditions.

Facilities: Modern restrooms and drinking water are available inside the nature center at the trailhead with none along the trail.

This is a Three Rivers Park, so FREE Parking!

Sorry, no dogs, +1s or children allowed. Only Twin Cities Hiking Meetup members who agree to these expectations and the Meetup Community Guidelines will be welcome on the hike.

IMPORTANT: Please honor your RSVP and if your plans change, update your status to Not Going as soon as you are aware, even if you are on the Waitlist.
