Trail Description
Each hike varies in it's intensity. Some trails cover flat terrain, some have gentle rolling hills, and some include intense "heart thumping" hill climbs. We hike year-round, in every season. The monthly hike notices includes tips on what to bring, proper shoes, outerwear suggestions, and more. If you’ve never snowshoe’d, we can teach you!
Wildlife is abundant - You may see deer, eagles, wild turkey, and other critters. .
We try to keep a moderate pace, but allow for breaks and opportunities to take in the beautiful views. When children accompany us, they set the pace. You’d be surprised at how quick they can be! At the same time, they may slow us down long enough to see things we wouldn’t have noticed had they not been along. Patience and tolerance is important. The key factor is ENJOYMENT.
