New Year’s Day Hike

Whether you’ve got grand New Year’s resolutions or not, let’s keep it simple today – just a hike!

Make a small commitment, join us for one hike. No need to splurge on all the gear; just show up and enjoy the outdoors. And here’s a challenge: talk to someone you’ve never spoken to before.

Kickstart your year with exercise and fresh air!

About the Hike:

We’ll be navigating real dirt trails with some sandy stretches and hills. The hike is 3-4 miles and the perfect way to get started!

After the hike:

Stick around for a picnic in the park. Bring your lunch, beverages are allowed, and a chair, and we’ll have some fun in the park.

Level of Difficulty:

Suitable for all levels, but be prepared for a pace of about 25-30 minutes per mile. We’ll adjust to the group’s speed and split into two if necessary. Rest assured, we won’t leave anyone behind, so no worries about getting lost.

Dog-Friendly for Responsible Dog Owners:

Bring your furry friend but remember the essentials – water and poop bags. Keep dogs on a short leash, and please do not approach other dogs or people without prior consent.

No kids:

While members can bring their kids to specific events, our focus is on being an adult outdoor social club.

What to Bring:

1. Sturdy shoes
2. Layers (you’ll warm up as we hike)
3. Water for you and your dog (if applicable)
4. Snack or lunch (we’ll find a spot post-hike)
5. A chair for post-hike relaxation
6. Comfortable shoes for after the hike
7. Sun and bug protection
