🦉Masters of the Sky 🥾+ Hike @ MN Carpenter Nature Center - Hastings + Lunch
Details
Let’s start off March with a fun Hike + Owl Show + Lunch/Social! First, we will meet up for a 4ish mile hike of the scenic Minnesota campus of the Carpenter Nature Center along the St Croix River bluffs.
Following the hike, join us to watch the 1pm live owl show, “Masters of The Sky: A Gathering of Owls.” IMPORTANT: you will need to purchase your own $15 ticket for the 1pm show in advance at: https://carpenternaturecenter.org/plan-your-visit/annual-events/masters-of-the-sky/?fbclid=IwdGRleAQB_jNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEewSlrqkCLS3N06yMM_jaNhxgWV6WHHqVIeIKe3uGtOC1ixCeD3C37LtjF7FQ_aem_xxPZzdxNjPr5-WqxFfRNHA

We will hike approximately 4 miles at a medium pace(18-20 minute miles depending on trail conditions) through a variety of landscapes including hardwood forest, ravines, oak savanna, rolling prairie and up and down the steep river bluffs. We will pause a few times to enjoy the scenery/hydrate/breathe! Trails are of bare earth, gravel, woodchips, turf, snow, packed snow and ice. Based on expected trail conditions this time of year, grippers and/or hiking poles are recommended.
I also recommend bringing water and a snack to hold you over until our late lunch.
