Spending time in nature has a profound impact on one’s health and mental wellbeing. Not sure how to connect to nature? Not comfortable hiking alone? Unsure where to even begin?
Join me on this guided sunset full moon hike. Learn how to navigate unfamiliar terrain in a controlled and guided setting. This hike is about 4 miles and not too challenging. It begins on a maintained and marked park trail and then we will turn off that trail onto a lesser known and unmarked trail (I have hiked this trail many times) up to that ridge line to where we will sit to take in the sunset and full moon rise.
We will hike out in the semi-darkness with headlamps taking in the sounds of the darkening forest.

Self-investment: $15

This time of you year the weather can vary quite a bit from 10am to 1pm and it can get quite windy on the ridge line. There is a section of navigating briars so puffy coats might not be the best choice (they rip easily).
• wear hiking boots •abrasion resistant pants (tights are not a great option nor are they very warm) •dress in layers •wind protection •hat & gloves •water •snacks (one will be provided) •hiking pole (I have a coupe extras) •headlamp (for the cave) •a backpack or waist pack are your best options (I have a couple extras if needed).
*NO dogs – terrain is rocky and too high a risk for injury
