Senior Hikes

Open to everyone, these walks are slower and usually stay closer to town. We offer two options:

Short & Easy: Roughly 2 miles on flat ground.
Moderate & Relaxed: Roughly 3–4 miles at a slower, manageable pace.

Family Hikes

These seasonal events focus on trails that are engaging and fun for younger children. They are a great way to introduce the whole family to the outdoors.
