🐪Mid-week Hilly Hike🏔️ at Richardson Nature Center - Bloomington

Let’s start April off right with an invigorating hike on the open prairie, in the woods and up and down the many scenic hills of Hyland Lake Park Reserve/Richardson Nature Center!

THE HIKE: Expect to hike 4.5-5 miles at a medium-pace (~18-19 minute mile) for 1 ½-2 hours. We will pause a few times to hydrate and take in the natural surroundings. The terrain is hilly, uneven and varies with mostly wide trails, some long grass/weeds, wood chips, loose gravel, mud and dirt.
Please do also consider taking precautions for ticks (tucking pants into socks, DEET spray, etc.) as they are present on MN trails now.

FACILITIES: There are modern bathrooms in the Richardson Nature Center building at the beginning and end of the hike.

Sorry, no dogs, +1s or children allowed on this hike. 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 know, even if you are on the Waitlist.
