🍂Wed PM Fall Hilly Hike🍁at Richardson Nature Center - Bloomington

Let’s meet up for 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, including to the top of Mount Gilboa for a picturesque view of fall colors from one of the highest elevations in Hennepin County.

Expect to hike about 5 miles at a medium-pace (19-20 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 turf, long grass/weeds, wood chips, loose gravel, mud and dirt.

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

Sorry, no dogs, +1s or children allowed on this hike.

Please honor your RSVP and if your plans change update your status to Not Going at least 24 hours in advance, even if you are on the Waitlist.
